+/*
+ Do NOT use .reduce to complete this function.
+
+How reduce works: A reduce function combines all elements into a single value going from left to right.
+Elements will be passed one by one into `cb` along with the `startingValue`.
+`startingValue` should be the first argument passed to `cb` 
+  the array element should be the second argument.
+`startingValue` is the starting value.  If `startingValue` is undefined then make `elements[0]` the initial value.
+
+*/

+function reduce(elements, cb, startingValue) {
+     
+     let index=0;
+      
+     /* we will check if startingValue is undefined so we will start our 
+     loop from index=1 and will use first element of array as starting value
+      
+     if startingValue is not undefined our loop will start from index=0;
+     */
