A collection of useful methods to extend Arrays.

• Array

Calls Math.min on the array and returns its lowest value.

myArray.min();

[1, 2, 3].min();
//returns 1

• (number) the lowest number in the array

Calls Math.max on the array and returns its highest value.

myArray.max();

[1, 2, 3].max();
//returns 3

• (number) the highest number in the array

Calculates the average value of the array.

myArray.average();

[1, 2, 3].average();
//returns 2

• (number) the average value of the array

Randomizes the array (altering it).

myArray.shuffle();

[1, 2, 3].shuffle();

• (array) the array.

Calling this method alters the array; it doesn't just return a new array with the same contents shuffled. It does, however, return itself.

Sums up all values in an array, including decimal numbers in string format.

myArray.sum();

$$('ul.menu li').getWidth().sum();
//returns the width of all li elements inside ul.menu as a sum

• (number) a number containing the sum of all values in the given array.

This method is for numbers and will return NaN if a non-number is present in the array.

Returns a new array without duplicate values.

myArrayWithoutDupes = myArray.unique();

var fruits = ['apple', 'lemon', 'pear', 'lemon', 'apple'].unique();
//fruits == ['apple', 'lemon', 'pear']

• (array) a new array without duplicates.

Apply a function against an accumulator and each value of the array (from left-to-right) as to reduce it to a single value.

result = myArray.reduce(fn[, value]);

1. fn - (function) Function to execute on each value in the array.
2. value - (mixed) Value to use as the first argument to the first call of the fn

fn(previousValue, currentValue, index, array)

[0, 1, 2, 3, 4].reduce(function(a, b){
    return a + b;
}); // returns 10

[0, 1, 2, 3, 4].reduce(function(a, b){
    return a + b;
}, 20); // returns 30

• (mixed) Returns the reduced single value of the array.

• MDC Array.reduce

Apply a function simultaneously against two values of the array (from right-to-left) as to reduce it to a single value.

result = myArray.reduceRight(fn[, value]);

1. fn - (function) Function to execute on each value in the array.
2. value - (mixed) Value to use as the first argument to the first call of the fn

fn(previousValue, currentValue, index, array)

var flattened = [[0, 1], [2, 3], [4, 5]].reduceRight(function(a, b) {
    return a.concat(b);
}, []);
// flattened is [4, 5, 2, 3, 0, 1]

• (mixed) Returns the reduced single value of the array.

• MDC Array.reduceRight

Returns an array with the named property from each of the array's elements.

var arr = myArray.pluck(prop)

1. prop - The named property to access on each element.

• (array) A new array containing the property value for each element.

var foo = [{ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }];
var bar = foo.pluck('a'); // bar is [1, 2]
var foo2 = [{ a: 1 }, { b: 2 }];
var bar2 foo2.pluck('a'); // bar2 is [1, undefined]

Undefined properties are not filtered from the returned array, as shown in the second example.
