This example demonstrates JavaScript array manipulation using D3’s `ascending` import, with a custom `range` function that builds an array of 30 numbers. It shows filtering, sorting, mapping, and reducing operations on that array, logging each result to the console. The final step reduces an array of key-value entries into a single object, illustrating how `reduce` can transform data structures. No visual elements are rendered; the output is purely the console log of the processed arrays and objects.
