A set of functions that, given an array and function, iterate through the array applying that function.
`reduce` applies func(r, k, v), and returns the result, where r is the value calculated so far, k is an index, and v is the value at index k. For example, reduce(array, function(a, b) return a + b end) will return the sum of `array`.
`apply` applies func(k, v), and returns the modified array. For example, apply(array, function(a) return 2*a end) will return an array where each member of `array` has been doubled.
`all` returns whether func(k, v) is true for all iterations.
`any` returns whether func(k, v) is true for at least one iteration.
Optional arguments:
i: start index; negative values count from the end of the array
j: end index; negative values count from the end of the array
s: step increment
These must be non-zero integers.
The function will determine where to iterate from, whether to iterate forwards or backwards and by how much, based on these inputs (see examples below for default behaviours).
Examples:
No values for i, j or s results in forward iteration from the start to the end in steps of 1 (the default).
s=-1 results in backward iteration from the end to the start in steps of 1.
i=7, j=3 results in backward iteration from indices 7 to 3 in steps of 1 (i.e. s=-1).
j=-3 results in forward iteration from the start to the 3rd last index.
j=-3, s=-1 results in backward iteration from the end to the 3rd last index.
Note: directionality generally only matters for `reduce`, but values of s > 1 (or s < -1) still affect the return value of `apply`.
