Creating an array of cumulative sum in javascript

Question

This is an example of what I need to do:

var myarray = [5, 10, 3, 2];

var result1 = myarray[0];
var result2 = myarray[1] + myarray[0];
var result3 = myarray[2] + myarray[1] + myarray[0];
var result4 = myarray[3] + myarray[2] + myarray[1] + myarray[0];

so all that would output 5, 15, 18, 20

but instead of writing out all the vars like that, I want it to say something like:

var result = arrayitem + the sum of any previous items 

Does that make sense? Is that possible? How do I do that?

Answer 1

An elegant solution copied from Nina Scholz, using currying to access the previous value.

const cumulativeSum = (sum => value => sum += value)(0);

console.log([5, 10, 3, 2].map(cumulativeSum));
