title: weightedAverage
tags: math,array,beginner
tags: math,array,intermediate
---
Returns the weighted average of two or more numbers.
- Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` to add each value to an accumulator, initialized with a value of `0` and divide by the `length` of the array.
- Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` to create the weighted sum of the values and the sum of the weights.
- Divide them with each other to get the weighted average.
```js
const weightedAverage = (nums, weights) =>
nums.reduce((acc, n, i) => acc + (weights[i] * n), 0) / nums.length;
const weightedAverage = (nums, weights) => {
const [sum, weightSum] = weights.reduce(
(acc, w, i) => {
acc[0] = acc[0] + nums[i] * w;
acc[1] = acc[1] + w;
return acc;
},
[0, 0]
);
return sum / weightSum;
};
```
```js
weightedAverage([1, 2, 3], [0.6,0.2,0.3]); // 0.6333
weightedAverage([1, 2, 3], [0.6,0.2,0.3]); // 1.72727
```
