array-extended includes many useful methods that for array. All of the functions can be chained together using array-exteded as a function or you can use the functions directly as shown in the examples.
The following native ES5 methods are included for completeness.
forEachmapfilterreducereduceRightsomeeveryindexOflastIndexOfNote forEach returns the original array for chaining purposes.
sum
Sums the values of an array.
array.sum([1,2,3]); //6
array([1,2,3]).sum().value(); //6

Finds the average of an array of numbers.
array.avg([1,2,3]); //2
array([1,2,3]).avg().value(); //2

Note this does not change the original array.
