Applies a user-supplied function to each element of a collection. The user-supplied function is given two arguments: the current element, and the value returned by the previous call to iterate() or the first argument, for the first iteration. The result is the value returned by the final call to the user-supplied function.
Returns the result of the Collection.iterate() call.

This function receives the current element and the prior iteration's result as arguments. The process starts with an optional initial state (`first`). The final output is the value produced by the user-defined function's last execution. It's used on a `Collection` with the `algorithm` being a function and `first` as optional. It returns a `ComputedObject`.\n"]]
