### freduce(function, sequence, initial=...) |
Apply a function of two arguments cumulatively to the items of a sequence, from left to right, so as to reduce the sequence to a single value. For example, reduce(lambda x, y: x+y, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) calculates ((((1+2)+3)+4)+5). If initial is present, it is placed before the items of the sequence in the calculation, and serves as a default when the sequence is empty. Returns: value

Convert floats to string, optionally with trailing zero decimals stripped. Parameters: `floats` - List, sequence, tuple, etc. (`scalar`s). `prec` - Optional precision, number of decimal digits (0..9). Trailing zero decimals are stripped for `prec` values of 1 and above, but kept for negative `prec` values. `sep` - Optional, separator to join (string). `fmt` - Optional, float format (string). `ints` - Optionally, remove decimal dot (`bool`). Returns: The floats as 'f, f, ... f' (string).

Raises: `OverflowError` - Partial `2sum` overflow. `ValueError` - Invalid or no `xs` value. See Also: Similar to Python 3.8+ math.hypot, but handling of exceptions, `nan` and `infinite` values is different. Note: The Python 3.8+ math.dist Euclidian distance between 2 n-dimensional points p1 and p2 can be computed as hypot_(*((c1 - c2) for c1, c2 in zip(p1, p2))), provided p1 and p2 have the same, non-zero length n.

### len2(seq) |
Make built-in function `len` work for generators, iterators, etc. since those can only be started exactly once. Parameters: `seq` - Generator, iterator, list, range, tuple, etc. Returns: 2-Tuple (number, ...) of items (`int`, `list` or `range` or `tuple`).

### map1(func, *xs) |

### map2(func, *xs) |
Apply arguments to a function and return a tuple of results. Unlike Python 2's built-in `map`, Python 3+ `map` returns a `map` object, an iterator-like object which generates the results only once. Converting the `map` object to a tuple maintains Python 2 behavior. Parameters: `func` - Function to apply (`callable`). `xs` - Arguments to apply (`list, tuple, ...`). Returns: Function results (`tuple`).
