</p>
<p>
<a href="http://github.com/jashkenas/underscore/">Underscore</a>
is a JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional
programming helpers without extending any built-in objects.
It’s the answer to the question: “If I sit down in front of a
blank HTML page, and want to start being productive immediately, what do I need?”
… and the tie to go along with
<a href="http://jquery.com">jQuery</a>'s tux and
<a href="http://backbonejs.org">Backbone</a>'s suspenders.
</p>
<p>
Underscore provides over 100 functions that support both your favorite
workaday functional helpers: <b>map</b>, <b>filter</b>, <b>invoke</b> —
as well as more specialized goodies: function binding, javascript
templating, creating quick indexes, deep equality testing, and so on.
</p>
<p>
A complete <a href="test/">Test Suite</a>
is included for your perusal.
</p>
<p>
You may also read through the <a href="docs/underscore.html">annotated source code</a>.
</p>
<p>
Enjoying Underscore, and want to <i>turn it up to 11?</i> Try <a href="http://documentcloud.github.io/underscore-contrib/">Underscore-contrib</a>.
</p>
<p>
The project is
<a href="https://github.com/jashkenas/underscore">hosted on GitHub</a>.

<h2 id="collections">Collection Functions (Arrays or Objects)</h2>
<p id="each">
<b class="header">each</b><code>_.each(list, iteratee, [context])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>forEach</b></span>
<br />
Iterates over a <b>list</b> of elements, yielding each in turn to an <b>iteratee</b>
function. The <b>iteratee</b> is bound to the <b>context</b> object, if one is
passed. Each invocation of <b>iteratee</b> is called with three arguments:
<tt>(element, index, list)</tt>. If <b>list</b> is a JavaScript object, <b>iteratee</b>'s
arguments will be <tt>(value, key, list)</tt>. Returns the <b>list</b> for chaining.
</p>
<pre>
_.each([1, 2, 3], alert);
=> alerts each number in turn...
_.each({one: 1, two: 2, three: 3}, alert);
=> alerts each number value in turn...</pre>
<p>
<i>
Note: Collection functions work on arrays, objects, and
array-like objects such as</i> <tt>arguments</tt>, <tt>NodeList</tt><i>
and similar. But it works by duck-typing, so avoid passing objects with
a numeric <tt>length</tt> property. It's also good to note that an
<tt>each</tt> loop cannot be broken out of — to break, use <b>_.find</b>
instead.
</i>
</p>
<p id="map">
<b class="header">map</b><code>_.map(list, iteratee, [context])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>collect</b></span>
<br />
Produces a new array of values by mapping each value in <b>list</b>
through a transformation function (<b>iteratee</b>). The <tt>iteratee</tt>
is passed three arguments: the <tt>value</tt>, then the <tt>index</tt>
(or <tt>key</tt>) of the iteration, and finally a reference to the entire
<tt>list</tt>.
</p>
<pre>
_.map([1, 2, 3], function(num){ return num * 3; });
=> [3, 6, 9]
_.map({one: 1, two: 2, three: 3}, function(num, key){ return num * 3; });
=> [3, 6, 9]
_.map([[1, 2], [3, 4]], _.first);
=> [1, 3]</pre>
<p id="reduce">
<b class="header">reduce</b><code>_.reduce(list, iteratee, [memo], [context])</code>
<span class="alias">Aliases: <b>inject, foldl</b></span>
<br />
Also known as <b>inject</b> and <b>foldl</b>, reduce boils down a <b>list</b> of values into a single value.
<b>Memo</b> is the initial state of the reduction, and each successive step of it should be returned by
<b>iteratee</b>. The iteratee is passed four arguments: the <tt>memo</tt>, then the <tt>value</tt> and
<tt>index</tt> (or key) of the iteration, and finally a reference to the entire <tt>list</tt>.
</p>
<p>
If no memo is passed to the initial invocation of reduce, the iteratee is not invoked on the first element
of the list. The first element is instead passed as the memo in the invocation of the iteratee on the next
element in the list.
</p>
<pre>
var sum = _.reduce([1, 2, 3], function(memo, num){ return memo + num; }, 0);
=> 6
</pre>
<p id="reduceRight">
<b class="header">reduceRight</b><code>_.reduceRight(list, iteratee, memo, [context])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>foldr</b></span>
<br />
The right-associative version of <b>reduce</b>. <b>Foldr</b>
is not as useful in JavaScript as it would be in a language with lazy
evaluation.
</p>
<pre>
var list = [[0, 1], [2, 3], [4, 5]];
var flat = _.reduceRight(list, function(a, b) { return a.concat(b); }, []);
=> [4, 5, 2, 3, 0, 1]
</pre>
<p id="find">
<b class="header">find</b><code>_.find(list, predicate, [context])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>detect</b></span>
<br />
Looks through each value in the <b>list</b>, returning the first one that
passes a truth test (<b>predicate</b>), or <tt>undefined</tt> if no value
passes the test. The function returns as
soon as it finds an acceptable element, and doesn't traverse the
entire list.
</p>
<pre>
var even = _.find([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], function(num){ return num % 2 == 0; });
=> 2
</pre>
<p id="filter">
<b class="header">filter</b><code>_.filter(list, predicate, [context])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>select</b></span>
<br />
Looks through each value in the <b>list</b>, returning an array of all
the values that pass a truth test (<b>predicate</b>).
</p>
<pre>
var evens = _.filter([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], function(num){ return num % 2 == 0; });
=> [2, 4, 6]
</pre>
<p id="where">
<b class="header">where</b><code>_.where(list, properties)</code>
<br />
Looks through each value in the <b>list</b>, returning an array of all
the values that contain all of the key-value pairs listed in <b>properties</b>.
</p>
<pre>
_.where(listOfPlays, {author: "Shakespeare", year: 1611});
=> [{title: "Cymbeline", author: "Shakespeare", year: 1611},
{title: "The Tempest", author: "Shakespeare", year: 1611}]
</pre>
<p id="findWhere">
<b class="header">findWhere</b><code>_.findWhere(list, properties)</code>
<br />
Looks through the <b>list</b> and returns the <i>first</i> value that matches
all of the key-value pairs listed in <b>properties</b>.
</p>
<p>
If no match is found, or if <b>list</b> is empty, <i>undefined</i> will be
returned.
</p>
<pre>
_.findWhere(publicServicePulitzers, {newsroom: "The New York Times"});
=> {year: 1918, newsroom: "The New York Times",
reason: "For its public service in publishing in full so many official reports,
documents and speeches by European statesmen relating to the progress and
conduct of the war."}
</pre>
<p id="reject">
<b class="header">reject</b><code>_.reject(list, predicate, [context])</code>
<br />
Returns the values in <b>list</b> without the elements that the truth
test (<b>predicate</b>) passes. The opposite of <b>filter</b>.
</p>
<pre>
var odds = _.reject([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], function(num){ return num % 2 == 0; });
=> [1, 3, 5]
</pre>
<p id="every">
<b class="header">every</b><code>_.every(list, [predicate], [context])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>all</b></span>
<br />
Returns <i>true</i> if all of the values in the <b>list</b> pass the
<b>predicate</b> truth test.
</p>
<pre>
_.every([true, 1, null, 'yes'], _.identity);
=> false
</pre>
<p id="some">
<b class="header">some</b><code>_.some(list, [predicate], [context])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>any</b></span>
<br />
Returns <i>true</i> if any of the values in the <b>list</b> pass the
<b>predicate</b> truth test. Short-circuits and stops traversing the list
if a true element is found.
</p>
<pre>
_.some([null, 0, 'yes', false]);
=> true
</pre>
<p id="contains">
<b class="header">contains</b><code>_.contains(list, value, [fromIndex])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>includes</b></span>
<br />
Returns <i>true</i> if the <b>value</b> is present in the <b>list</b>.
Uses <b>indexOf</b> internally, if <b>list</b> is an Array.
Use <b>fromIndex</b> to start your search at a given index.
</p>
<pre>
_.contains([1, 2, 3], 3);
=> true
</pre>
<p id="invoke">
<b class="header">invoke</b><code>_.invoke(list, methodName, *arguments)</code>
<br />

Any extra arguments passed to <b>invoke</b> will be forwarded on to the
method invocation.

=> [[1, 5, 7], [1, 2, 3]]
</pre>
<p id="pluck">
<b class="header">pluck</b><code>_.pluck(list, propertyName)</code>
<br />
A convenient version of what is perhaps the most common use-case for
<b>map</b>: extracting a list of property values.
</p>
<pre>
var stooges = [{name: 'moe', age: 40}, {name: 'larry', age: 50}, {name: 'curly', age: 60}];
_.pluck(stooges, 'name');
=> ["moe", "larry", "curly"]
</pre>
<p id="max">
<b class="header">max</b><code>_.max(list, [iteratee], [context])</code>
<br />
Returns the maximum value in <b>list</b>. If an <b>iteratee</b>
function is provided, it will be used on each value to generate the
criterion by which the value is ranked. <i>-Infinity</i> is returned
if <b>list</b> is empty, so an <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a> guard
may be required.
</p>
<pre>
var stooges = [{name: 'moe', age: 40}, {name: 'larry', age: 50}, {name: 'curly', age: 60}];
_.max(stooges, function(stooge){ return stooge.age; });
=> {name: 'curly', age: 60};
</pre>
<p id="min">
<b class="header">min</b><code>_.min(list, [iteratee], [context])</code>
<br />
Returns the minimum value in <b>list</b>. If an <b>iteratee</b>
function is provided, it will be used on each value to generate the
criterion by which the value is ranked. <i>Infinity</i> is returned
if <b>list</b> is empty, so an <a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a> guard
may be required.
</p>
<pre>
var numbers = [10, 5, 100, 2, 1000];
_.min(numbers);
=> 2
</pre>
<p id="sortBy">
<b class="header">sortBy</b><code>_.sortBy(list, iteratee, [context])</code>
<br />
Returns a (stably) sorted copy of <b>list</b>, ranked in ascending
order by the results of running each value through <b>iteratee</b>.
iteratee may also be the string name of the property to sort by (eg.
<tt>length</tt>).
</p>
<pre>
_.sortBy([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], function(num){ return Math.sin(num); });
=> [5, 4, 6, 3, 1, 2]
var stooges = [{name: 'moe', age: 40}, {name: 'larry', age: 50}, {name: 'curly', age: 60}];
_.sortBy(stooges, 'name');
=> [{name: 'curly', age: 60}, {name: 'larry', age: 50}, {name: 'moe', age: 40}];
</pre>
<p id="groupBy">
<b class="header">groupBy</b><code>_.groupBy(list, iteratee, [context])</code>
<br />
Splits a collection into sets, grouped by the result of running each
value through <b>iteratee</b>. If <b>iteratee</b> is a string instead of
a function, groups by the property named by <b>iteratee</b> on each of
the values.
</p>
<pre>
_.groupBy([1.3, 2.1, 2.4], function(num){ return Math.floor(num); });
=> {1: [1.3], 2: [2.1, 2.4]}
_.groupBy(['one', 'two', 'three'], 'length');
=> {3: ["one", "two"], 5: ["three"]}
</pre>
<p id="indexBy">
<b class="header">indexBy</b><code>_.indexBy(list, iteratee, [context])</code>
<br />
Given a <b>list</b>, and an <b>iteratee</b> function that returns a
key for each element in the list (or a property name),
returns an object with an index of each item.
Just like <a href="#groupBy">groupBy</a>, but for when you know your
keys are unique.
</p>
<pre>
var stooges = [{name: 'moe', age: 40}, {name: 'larry', age: 50}, {name: 'curly', age: 60}];
_.indexBy(stooges, 'age');
=> {
"40": {name: 'moe', age: 40},
"50": {name: 'larry', age: 50},
"60": {name: 'curly', age: 60}
}
</pre>
<p id="countBy">
<b class="header">countBy</b><code>_.countBy(list, iteratee, [context])</code>
<br />
Sorts a list into groups and returns a count for the number of objects
in each group.
Similar to <tt>groupBy</tt>, but instead of returning a list of values,
returns a count for the number of values in that group.
</p>
<pre>
_.countBy([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], function(num) {
return num % 2 == 0 ? 'even': 'odd';
});
=> {odd: 3, even: 2}
</pre>
<p id="shuffle">
<b class="header">shuffle</b><code>_.shuffle(list)</code>

<p id="sample">
<b class="header">sample</b><code>_.sample(list, [n])</code>
<br />
Produce a random sample from the <b>list</b>. Pass a number to
return <b>n</b> random elements from the list. Otherwise a single random

Returns a copy of the <b>array</b> with all instances of the <b>values</b>
removed.
</p>
<pre>
_.without([1, 2, 1, 0, 3, 1, 4], 0, 1);
=> [2, 3, 4]
</pre>
<p id="union">
<b class="header">union</b><code>_.union(*arrays)</code>
<br />
Computes the union of the passed-in <b>arrays</b>: the list of unique items,
in order, that are present in one or more of the <b>arrays</b>.
</p>
<pre>
_.union([1, 2, 3], [101, 2, 1, 10], [2, 1]);
=> [1, 2, 3, 101, 10]
</pre>
<p id="intersection">
<b class="header">intersection</b><code>_.intersection(*arrays)</code>
<br />
Computes the list of values that are the intersection of all the <b>arrays</b>.
Each value in the result is present in each of the <b>arrays</b>.
</p>
<pre>
_.intersection([1, 2, 3], [101, 2, 1, 10], [2, 1]);
=> [1, 2]
</pre>
<p id="difference">
<b class="header">difference</b><code>_.difference(array, *others)</code>
<br />
Similar to <b>without</b>, but returns the values from <b>array</b> that
are not present in the <b>other</b> arrays.
</p>
<pre>
_.difference([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [5, 2, 10]);
=> [1, 3, 4]
</pre>
<p id="uniq">
<b class="header">uniq</b><code>_.uniq(array, [isSorted], [iteratee])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>unique</b></span>
<br />
Produces a duplicate-free version of the <b>array</b>, using <i>===</i> to test
object equality. In particular only the first occurence of each value is kept.
If you know in advance that the <b>array</b> is sorted,
passing <i>true</i> for <b>isSorted</b> will run a much faster algorithm.
If you want to compute unique items based on a transformation, pass an
<b>iteratee</b> function.
</p>
<pre>
_.uniq([1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 3]);
=> [1, 2, 4, 3]
</pre>
<p id="zip">
<b class="header">zip</b><code>_.zip(*arrays)</code>
<br />
Merges together the values of each of the <b>arrays</b> with the
values at the corresponding position. Useful when you have separate
data sources that are coordinated through matching array indexes.
Use with <tt>apply</tt> to pass in an array of arrays.
If you're working with a matrix of nested arrays, this can be used to
transpose the matrix.
</p>
<pre>
_.zip(['moe', 'larry', 'curly'], [30, 40, 50], [true, false, false]);
=> [["moe", 30, true], ["larry", 40, false], ["curly", 50, false]]
</pre>
<p id="unzip">
<b class="header">unzip</b><code>_.unzip(array)</code>
<br>
The opposite of <a href="#zip">zip</a>. Given an <b>array</b> of arrays, returns a
series of new arrays, the first of which contains all of the first elements
in the input arrays, the second of which contains all of the second elements,
and so on.
</p>
<pre>
_.unzip([["moe", 30, true], ["larry", 40, false], ["curly", 50, false]]);
=> [['moe', 'larry', 'curly'], [30, 40, 50], [true, false, false]]
</pre>
<p id="object">
<b class="header">object</b><code>_.object(list, [values])</code>
<br />
Converts arrays into objects. Pass either a single list of
<tt>[key, value]</tt> pairs, or a list of keys, and a list of values.
If duplicate keys exist, the last value wins.
</p>
<pre>
_.object(['moe', 'larry', 'curly'], [30, 40, 50]);
=> {moe: 30, larry: 40, curly: 50}
_.object([['moe', 30], ['larry', 40], ['curly', 50]]);
=> {moe: 30, larry: 40, curly: 50}
</pre>
<p id="indexOf">
<b class="header">indexOf</b><code>_.indexOf(array, value, [isSorted])</code>
<br />
Returns the index at which <b>value</b> can be found in the <b>array</b>,
