## Map-reduce in parallel
[![rayon-badge]][rayon] [![cat-concurrency-badge]][cat-concurrency]
This example uses [`rayon::filter`], [`rayon::map`], and [`rayon::reduce`]
to calculate the coniditional average age of a vector of `Person` objects.
[`rayon::filter`] allows us to (in parallel) conditionally include elements from
a collection that satisfy the given predicate. Similarly, [`rayon::map`] and
[`rayon::reduce`] allow us to transform the filtered elements via a unary
operation and reduce them to a single value via a given binary operation,
respectively. We also show use of [`rayon::sum`], which has the same result as
the reduce operation in this example.
```rust
extern crate rayon;
use rayon::prelude::*;
struct Person {
age: u32,
}
fn main() {
let v: Vec<Person> = vec![
Person { age: 23 },
Person { age: 19 },
Person { age: 42 },
Person { age: 17 },
Person { age: 17 },
Person { age: 31 },
Person { age: 30 },
];
let num_over_30 = v.par_iter().filter(|&x| x.age > 30).count() as f32;
let sum_over_30 = v.par_iter()
.map(|x| x.age)
.filter(|&x| x > 30)
.reduce(|| 0, |x, y| x + y);
let alt_sum_30: u32 = v.par_iter()
.map(|x| x.age)
.filter(|&x| x > 30)
.sum();
let avg_over_30 = sum_over_30 as f32 / num_over_30;
let alt_avg_over_30 = alt_sum_30 as f32/ num_over_30;
assert!((avg_over_30 - alt_avg_over_30).abs() < std::f32::EPSILON);
println!("The average age of people older than 30 is {}", avg_over_30);
}
```
