It s actually the JavaScript array reduce function rather than being something specific to TypeScript   As described in the docs   Apply a function against an accumulator and each value of the array  from left-to-right  as to reduce it to a single value   Here s an example which sums up the values of an array    x000D   x000D  let total    0  1  2  3  reduce  accumulator  currentValue    gt  accumulator   currentValue   x000D  console log total   x000D   x000D   x000D    The snippet should produce 6

Just a note in addition to the other answers   If an initial value is supplied to reduce then sometimes its type must be specified  viz -  a reduce fn        may have to be  a reduce lt string   gt  fn        or  a reduce fn   lt string   gt
