How to find the sum of an array of numbers

Question

Given an array [1, 2, 3, 4], how can I find the sum of its elements? (In this case, the sum would be 10.)

I thought $.each might be useful,

Answer 1

When the array consists of strings one has to alter the code. This can be the case, if the array is a result from a databank request. This code works:

alert(
["1", "2", "3", "4"].reduce((a, b) => Number(a) + Number(b), 0)
);

Here, ["1", "2", "3", "4"] ist the string array and the function Number() converts the strings to numbers.
