“add” function that works with different combinations of chaining/arguments

Question

I\'m trying to write an add function that will work in many scenarios.

add(2,2,2) //6
add(2,2,2,2) //8
add(2)(2)(2) // 6
add(2)(2)(2,2).value() //8
add(2,2)(         


        

Answer 1

I have tried to improvise with the use of this. Works for all cases.

function add(){
    var sum =  this instanceof Number?this: 0;
    for( var i in arguments ){
        sum += arguments[i];
    }

    var ret = add.bind(sum);
    ret.add = ret;
    ret.value = ret.valueOf = function() { return sum; };

    ret.toString = sum.toString.bind(sum);

    return ret;
}
