Reducer.Reducer<number>Reducer for reducing numbers by keeping the maximum value.
When to use
Use to keep the largest number through APIs that consume a Reducer.
Details
The reducer starts from -Infinity, so reducing an empty collection returns
-Infinity.
Gotchas
NaN values propagate through Math.max.
export const const ReducerMax: Reducer.Reducer<number>const ReducerMax: {
initialValue: A;
combineAll: (collection: Iterable<A>) => A;
combine: (self: A, that: A) => A;
}

ReducerMax: import ReducerReducer.interface Reducer<A>Represents a strategy for reducing a collection of values of type A into
a single result.
When to use
Use when you need to fold/reduce a collection into a single value.
- You want a reusable reducing strategy that can be passed to library
functions like
Struct.makeReducer, Option.makeReducer, or
Record.makeReducerUnion.
- You need both the combining logic and a known starting value.

Extends
Combiner.Combiner
with:
initialValue – the identity/neutral element for combine.combineAll – folds an entire Iterable<A> from initialValue.
Many modules ship pre-built reducers:
Number.ReducerSum, Number.ReducerMultiplyString.ReducerConcatBoolean.ReducerAnd, Boolean.ReducerOr
Example (String concatenation reducer)
import { Reducer } from "effect"
const Concat = Reducer.make<string>((a, b) => a + b, "")
console.log(Concat.combineAll(["hello", " ", "world"]))
// Output: "hello world"
Reducer<number> = import ReducerReducer.function make<A>(
combine: (self: A, that: A) => A,
initialValue: A,
combineAll?: (collection: Iterable<A>) => A
): Reducer<A>
Creates a Reducer from a combine function and an initialValue.
When to use
Use when you have a custom reducing operation not covered by a pre-built reducer.
- You want to provide an optimized
combineAll (e.g. short-circuiting on
a known absorbing element like 0 for multiplication).
Details
- If
combineAll is omitted, a default left-to-right fold starting from
initialValue is used.
- If
combineAll is provided, it completely replaces the default fold.
Example (Multiplying with short-circuit)
import { Reducer } from "effect"
const Product = Reducer.make<number>(
(a, b) => a * b,
1,
(collection) => {
let acc = 1
for (const n of collection) {
if (n === 0) return 0
acc *= n
}
return acc
}
)
console.log(Product.combineAll([2, 3, 4]))
// Output: 24
console.log(Product.combineAll([2, 0, 4]))
// Output: 0
make((a: numbera, b: numberb) => var Math: MathAn intrinsic object that provides basic mathematics functionality and constants.
Math.Math.max(...values: number[]): numberReturns the larger of a set of supplied numeric expressions.
max(a: numbera, b: numberb), -var Infinity: numberInfinity)
