reducedim
reducedim(f, A, dims[, initial])
Reduce 2-argument function f along dimensions of A. dims is a vector specifying the dimensions to reduce, and initial is the initial value to use in the reductions. For +, *, max and min the initial argument is optional.
The associativity of the reduction is implementation-dependent; if you need a particular associativity, e.g. left-to-right, you should write your own loop. See documentation for reduce.
Examples
In the Julia programming language, the function reducedim(f, A, dims[, initial]) is used to reduce a multi-dimensional array along specified dimensions using a provided function f. The dims argument specifies the dimensions to reduce, and the optional initial argument is used as the initial value in the reductions for certain functions (+, *, max, and min).

7In the above example, the reducedim function is used to reduce the array A along the specified dimensions. The provided function f (in this case, + and min) is applied to the elements along the specified dimensions, resulting in a reduced array.
Note: The associativity of the reduction is implementation-dependent. If a specific associativity is required (e.g., left-to-right), it is recommended to write a custom loop using the reduce function.
Please refer to the documentation for reduce for more information on customizing reductions.
