That was my honestly biggest challenge with learning reduce(). My brain was too used to the syntax of for loops. But it is also difficult to understand a reduce method that's doing 3+ things in one function

I get it. It happens. But do you think is easier to read a for block that is doing 3+ things?

For me, the simple fact that I learned for loops first has meant that my brain defaults to it. I'm more fluent with for loops. So any other syntax means having to "translate".
