sum of two arrays in D3?

So out of curiosity, what’s wrong with plain for loops in this case? It saves overhead on memory allocation overhead, JIT compilation, etc, and doesn’t look all that confusing to me:

totalBasket = {
  let sum = 0;
  for (let i = 0; i < fruits.length; i++) sum += fruits[i].quantity;
  for (let i = 0; i < veg.length; i++) sum += veg[i].quantity;
  return sum;
}

EDIT: Alternatively, you could try for...of, although that is currently a bit slower in most JS engines:

totalBasket = {
  let sum = 0;
  for (let f of fruits) sum += f.quantity;
  for (let v of veg) sum += v.quantity;
  return sum;
}```
