JavaScript: Accepts a converging function and a list of branching functions

JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-68 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program that accepts a converging function and a list of branching functions. It returns a function that applies each branching function to the arguments. The results of the branching functions are passed as arguments to the converging function.

• Use Array.prototype.map() and Function.prototype.apply() to apply each function to the given arguments.
• Use the spread operator (...) to call converger with the results of all other functions.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2 
const converge = (converger, fns) => (...args) => converger(...fns.map(fn => fn.apply(null, args)));
const average = converge((a, b) => a / b, [
  arr => arr.reduce((a, v) => a + v, 0),
  arr => arr.length
]);
console.log(average([ 6, 7]));
console.log(average([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]));

Sample Output:

6.5
4
