function y = reduce(fun, C, initial)
% y = reduce(fun, C, initial)
%
% Reduces the contents of cell array C to a single value by
% accumulating the result of applying binary function fun to elements
% from C.
% e.g. reduce(@plus, {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}) will return 10.
%
% Optional argument initial can be used to set the initial value in
% the accumulator, as if it was prepended to C.
% e.g. reduce(@plus, {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}, 10) will return 20.
