		<description>Apply a callback function against and accumulator and each element in the Api's result set.</description>
		<parameter type="function" name="fn">
			Callback function which is called for each item in the API instance result set. The callback is called with four parameters:

			* Current accumulator value, or `initialValue` if supplied in the first callback
			* Current element value
			* The element index in the result set
			* The API instance being traversed

			The callback should return the value to be used as the accumulator for the next loop (first parameter in the callback).
		</parameter>
		<parameter type="*" name="initialValue" default="">
			Value to use as the first argument of the first call to the `fn` callback.
		</parameter>
		<returns type="*">Result from the final call to the `fn` callback function.</returns>

		This method can be used to accumulate data from a result set into a single value. A good example is summing the values from a column of data. A more complete definition of the Array reduceRight method, which this method is based upon, can be found on the [Mozilla MDN documentation for `reduceRight`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/reduceRight).

		Note that the traversal of the elements in the result set in this method is right-to-left (i.e. `length` to 0). `dt-api reduce()` is available for transversal in the opposite direction.

		This method makes use of the fact that DataTables API objects are "array like", in that they inherent a lot of the abilities and methods of the Javascript `Array` type.

		In this case, this method is a proxy for the Javascript `Array.prototype.reduceRight` method and is provided as a utility method for the DataTables API. For more information about the original method, please refer to the [Mozilla MDN documentation for `reduceRight`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/reduceRight). In browsers which do not support `reduceRight` natively, a polyfill is provided to allow this DataTables method to operate as expected.
