JavaScript array reduce start from index

Question

This problem has been bugging me for a while now and I can't seem to find an answer in web.

Is it possible to use Array reduce method starting from a certain index?

simple example

var studentGrades = ["John Doe", "Some School", 6, 7, 8, 7, 9, 9];

If I need to loop over only integers in studentGrades, I can do that with a simple for loop

for(var i = 2; i < studentGrades.length; i++) {
  // do stuff here ...
}

But let's say I would need get an average grade which is sum of all integers divided by integers count. If Array contained only integers, then there would be no problem using reduce.

var onlyIntegersArr = [5,2,3,4];
var averageGrade = onlyIntegersArr.reduce(function(a,b){
  return a + b;
}) / onlyIntegersArr.length;

However if I know that for whatever reasons I need to skip the first two Array elements and start from index Array[2].

So for example I would apply reduce to studentGrades, but only starting from index studentGrades[2].

Is that possible with reduce?

Thank you for solutions, I like slice approach, but I prefer not using a new method in this case.

e.g.

var average = studentGrades.reduce(function(a,b,i){
  return i >= 2 ? a+b : 0;
}) / (studentGrades.length - 2);

Answer 1

reduce's 3rd argument is an index, here is the fiddle

var averageGrade = onlyIntegersArr.reduce(function (a, b, c) {
    if (c >= 2) {
        return a + b;
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
});

if array has more non-numeric items after second index then check this fiddle

var studentGrades = ["John Doe", "Some School", 6, 7, 8, 7, 9, 9, "Some School"];
var averageGrade = studentGrades.reduce(function (a, b, c) {
    if (c >= 2 && !isNaN(b)) {
        return a + b;
    } else if (c >= 2) {
        return a + 0;
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
})
alert(averageGrade);
