# Reductions
|
||||
|
||||
One of the core functions in Clojure is
|
||||
[`reduce`](https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/reduce). It allows you to
|
||||
build up some result based on applying a function to each value in a
|
||||
collection. Clojure provides a similar function that builds up a (lazy)
|
||||
sequence of intermediate values as it is performing a reduce.
|
||||
This function is
|
||||
[`reductions`](https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/reductions).
|
||||
|
||||
Using `reduce` to sum a collection of integers looks like this
|
||||
|
||||
```clojure
|
||||
> (reduce + 0 [1 2 3 4 5])
|
||||
=> 15
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
whereas `reductions` performing the same task will look like this
|
||||
|
||||
```clojure
|
||||
> (reductions + 0 [1 2 3 4 5])
|
||||
=> (0 1 3 6 10 15)
|
||||
```
