Script Preparation code:

// Create an array of 1000 random intergers between 1 and 10000
var arrRandom = [];
for(var intCtr=0; intCtr<1000; intCtr++) {
  arrRandom.push(Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(10000)));
}

function reduceCallback(accum, curr) {
	return accum+curr;
}

	return pArray.reduce(reduceCallback);
}

	var accum = 0;
	for(var intCtr=0; intCtr<pArray.length; intCtr++) {
