Help on built-in function reduce in module _functools:

reduce(...)
    reduce(function, sequence[, initial]) -> value
    
    Apply a function of two arguments cumulatively to the items of a sequence,
    from left to right, so as to reduce the sequence to a single value.
    For example, reduce(lambda x, y: x+y, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) calculates
    ((((1+2)+3)+4)+5).  If initial is present, it is placed before the items
    of the sequence in the calculation, and serves as a default when the
    sequence is empty.


>>> reduce(lambda x, y: x+y, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

>>> reduce(lambda x, y: x*y, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
