## yq vs jq syntax
|
||
|
|
Reduce syntax in `yq` is a little different from `jq` - as `yq` (currently) isn't as sophisticated as `jq` and its only supports infix notation (e.g. a + b, the operator is in the middle of the two parameters) - where as `jq` uses a mix of infix notation with _prefix_ notation (e.g. `reduce a b` is like writing `+ a b`).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To that end, the reduce operator is called `ireduce` for backwards compatability if a prefix version of `reduce` is ever added.
