//sampleStart
val strings = listOf("a", "b", "c", "d")
println(strings.reduceOrNull { acc, string -> acc + string }) // abcd
println(strings.reduceIndexedOrNull { index, acc, string -> acc + string + index }) // ab1c2d3

println(emptyList<String>().reduceOrNull { _, _ -> "" }) // null
//sampleEnd
}
