Detailed Description

Reduction function objects are used in reduction operations in TNL, such as TNL::Algorithms::reduce but also in reduction in TNL::Algorithms::Segments and TNL::Matrices.

In general, each reduction operation is implemented as a generic operator() of the form auto operator()( T1 x, T2 y ) const -> T3, which computes an appropriate associative and commutative binary operation. Furthermore, the reduction function objects in TNL extend the corresponding STL function objects with a getIdentity() method, which returns the identity element for the operation. The identity element is a value that does not change the result of the operation when combined with any other value.
