    </p>

    <p>
      <a href="http://github.com/jashkenas/underscore/">Underscore</a>
      is a JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional
      programming helpers without extending any built-in objects.
      It&rsquo;s the answer to the question: &ldquo;If I sit down in front of a
      blank HTML page, and want to start being productive immediately, what do I need?&rdquo;
      &hellip; and the tie to go along with
      <a href="http://jquery.com">jQuery</a>'s tux and
      <a href="http://backbonejs.org">Backbone</a>'s suspenders.
    </p>

    <p>
      Underscore provides over 100 functions that support both your favorite
      workaday functional helpers: <b>map</b>, <b>filter</b>, <b>invoke</b> &mdash;
      as well as more specialized goodies: function binding, javascript
      templating, creating quick indexes, deep equality testing, and so on.
    </p>

    <p>
      A complete <a href="test/">Test &amp; Benchmark Suite</a>
      is included for your perusal.
    </p>

    <p>
      You may also read through the <a href="docs/underscore.html">annotated source code</a>.

        <b class="header">each</b><code>_.each(list, iteratee, [context])</code>
        <span class="alias">Alias: <b>forEach</b></span>
        <br />
        Iterates over a <b>list</b> of elements, yielding each in turn to an <b>iteratee</b>
        function. The <b>iteratee</b> is bound to the <b>context</b> object, if one is
        passed. Each invocation of <b>iteratee</b> is called with three arguments:
        <tt>(element, index, list)</tt>. If <b>list</b> is a JavaScript object, <b>iteratee</b>'s
        arguments will be <tt>(value, key, list)</tt>. Returns the <b>list</b> for chaining.
      </p>
      <pre>
_.each([1, 2, 3], alert);

        <i>
          Note: Collection functions work on arrays, objects, and
          array-like objects such as</i> <tt>arguments</tt>, <tt>NodeList</tt><i>
          and similar. But it works by duck-typing, so avoid passing objects with
          a numeric <tt>length</tt> property. It's also good to note that an
          <tt>each</tt> loop cannot be broken out of — to break, use <b>_.find</b>
          instead.
        </i>
      </p>

      <p id="map">
        <b class="header">map</b><code>_.map(list, iteratee, [context])</code>
        <span class="alias">Alias: <b>collect</b></span>
        <br />
        Produces a new array of values by mapping each value in <b>list</b>
        through a transformation function (<b>iteratee</b>). If <b>list</b>
        is a JavaScript object, <b>iteratee</b>'s arguments will be
        <tt>(value, key, list)</tt>.
      </p>
      <pre>
_.map([1, 2, 3], function(num){ return num * 3; });

        <b class="header">reduce</b><code>_.reduce(list, iteratee, [memo], [context])</code>
        <span class="alias">Aliases: <b>inject, foldl</b></span>
        <br />
        Also known as <b>inject</b> and <b>foldl</b>, reduce boils down a <b>list</b> of values into a single value.
        <b>Memo</b> is the initial state of the reduction, and each successive step of it should be returned by
        <b>iteratee</b>. The iteratee is passed four arguments: the <tt>memo</tt>, then the <tt>value</tt> and
        <tt>index</tt> (or key) of the iteration, and finally a reference to the entire <tt>list</tt>.
      </p>
      <p>
        If no memo is passed to the initial invocation of reduce, the iteratee is not invoked on the first element
        of the list. The first element is instead passed as the memo in the invocation of the iteratee on the next
        element in the list.
      </p>
      <pre>
var sum = _.reduce([1, 2, 3], function(memo, num){ return memo + num; }, 0);

        <b class="header">range</b><code>_.range([start], stop, [step])</code>
        <br />
        A function to create flexibly-numbered lists of integers, handy for
        <tt>each</tt> and <tt>map</tt> loops. <b>start</b>, if omitted, defaults
        to <i>0</i>; <b>step</b> defaults to <i>1</i>. Returns a list of integers
        from <b>start</b> to <b>stop</b>, incremented (or decremented) by <b>step</b>,
        exclusive. Note that ranges that <b>stop</b> before they <b>start</b>
        are considered to be zero-length instead of negative — if you'd like a
        negative range, use a negative <b>step</b>.
      </p>
      <pre>
_.range(10);
=&gt; [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
_.range(1, 11);
=&gt; [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
_.range(0, 30, 5);
=&gt; [0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25]
_.range(0, -10, -1);
=&gt; [0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9]

      <h2 id="functions">Function (uh, ahem) Functions</h2>

      <p id="bind">
        <b class="header">bind</b><code>_.bind(function, object, *arguments)</code>
        <br />
        Bind a <b>function</b> to an <b>object</b>, meaning that whenever
        the function is called, the value of <i>this</i> will be the <b>object</b>.
        Optionally, pass <b>arguments</b> to the <b>function</b> to pre-fill them,
        also known as <b>partial application</b>. For partial application without
        context binding, use <a href="#partial">partial</a>.
      </p>
      <pre>
var func = function(greeting){ return greeting + ': ' + this.name };
func = _.bind(func, {name: 'moe'}, 'hi');
func();
=&gt; 'hi: moe'
</pre>

      <p id="bindAll">
        <b class="header">bindAll</b><code>_.bindAll(object, *methodNames)</code>
        <br />
        Binds a number of methods on the <b>object</b>, specified by
        <b>methodNames</b>, to be run in the context of that object whenever they
        are invoked. Very handy for binding functions that are going to be used
        as event handlers, which would otherwise be invoked with a fairly useless
        <i>this</i>. <b>methodNames</b> are required.
      </p>
      <pre>
var buttonView = {
  label  : 'underscore',
  onClick: function(){ alert('clicked: ' + this.label); },
  onHover: function(){ console.log('hovering: ' + this.label); }
};
_.bindAll(buttonView, 'onClick', 'onHover');
// When the button is clicked, this.label will have the correct value.
jQuery('#underscore_button').bind('click', buttonView.onClick);
</pre>

      <p id="partial">
        <b class="header">partial</b><code>_.partial(function, *arguments)</code>
        <br />
        Partially apply a function by filling in any number of its <b>arguments</b>,
        <i>without</i> changing its dynamic <tt>this</tt> value. A close cousin
        of <a href="#bind">bind</a>. You may pass <tt>_</tt> in your list of
        <b>arguments</b> to specify an argument that should not be pre-filled, but
        left open to supply at call-time.
      </p>
      <pre>
var add = function(a, b) { return a + b; };
add5 = _.partial(add, 5);
add5(10);
=&gt; 15
</pre>

      <p id="memoize">
        <b class="header">memoize</b><code>_.memoize(function, [hashFunction])</code>
        <br />
        Memoizes a given <b>function</b> by caching the computed result. Useful
        for speeding up slow-running computations. If passed an optional
        <b>hashFunction</b>, it will be used to compute the hash key for storing
        the result, based on the arguments to the original function. The default
        <b>hashFunction</b> just uses the first argument to the memoized function
        as the key.
      </p>
      <pre>
var fibonacci = _.memoize(function(n) {
  return n &lt; 2 ? n: fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
});
</pre>

      <p id="delay">
        <b class="header">delay</b><code>_.delay(function, wait, *arguments)</code>
        <br />
        Much like <b>setTimeout</b>, invokes <b>function</b> after <b>wait</b>
        milliseconds. If you pass the optional <b>arguments</b>, they will be
        forwarded on to the <b>function</b> when it is invoked.
      </p>
      <pre>
var log = _.bind(console.log, console);
_.delay(log, 1000, 'logged later');
=&gt; 'logged later' // Appears after one second.
</pre>

      <p id="defer">
        <b class="header">defer</b><code>_.defer(function, *arguments)</code>
        <br />
        Defers invoking the <b>function</b> until the current call stack has cleared,
        similar to using <b>setTimeout</b> with a delay of 0. Useful for performing
        expensive computations or HTML rendering in chunks without blocking the UI thread
        from updating. If you pass the optional <b>arguments</b>, they will be
        forwarded on to the <b>function</b> when it is invoked.
      </p>
      <pre>
_.defer(function(){ alert('deferred'); });
// Returns from the function before the alert runs.
</pre>

      <p id="throttle">
        <b class="header">throttle</b><code>_.throttle(function, wait, [options])</code>
        <br />
        Creates and returns a new, throttled version of the passed function,
        that, when invoked repeatedly, will only actually call the original function
        at most once per every <b>wait</b>
        milliseconds. Useful for rate-limiting events that occur faster than you
        can keep up with.
      </p>
      <p>
        By default, <b>throttle</b> will execute the function as soon as you call it
        for the first time, and, if you call it again any number of times
        during the <b>wait</b> period, as soon as that period is over.
        If you'd like to disable the leading-edge
        call, pass <tt>{leading: false}</tt>, and if you'd like to disable the
        execution on the trailing-edge, pass <br /> <tt>{trailing: false}</tt>.
      </p>
      <pre>
var throttled = _.throttle(updatePosition, 100);
$(window).scroll(throttled);
</pre>

      <p id="debounce">
        <b class="header">debounce</b><code>_.debounce(function, wait, [immediate])</code>
        <br />
        Creates and returns a new debounced version of the passed function which
        will postpone its execution until after
        <b>wait</b> milliseconds have elapsed since the last time it
        was invoked. Useful for implementing behavior that should only happen
        <i>after</i> the input has stopped arriving. For example: rendering a
        preview of a Markdown comment, recalculating a layout after the window
        has stopped being resized, and so on.
      </p>

      <p>
        Pass <tt>true</tt> for the <b>immediate</b> parameter to cause
        <b>debounce</b> to trigger the function on the leading instead of the
        trailing edge of the <b>wait</b> interval. Useful in circumstances like
        preventing accidental double-clicks on a "submit" button from firing a
        second time.
      </p>

      <pre>
var lazyLayout = _.debounce(calculateLayout, 300);
$(window).resize(lazyLayout);
</pre>

      <p id="once">
        <b class="header">once</b><code>_.once(function)</code>
        <br />
        Creates a version of the function that can only be called one time.
        Repeated calls to the modified function will have no effect, returning
        the value from the original call. Useful for initialization functions,
        instead of having to set a boolean flag and then check it later.
      </p>
      <pre>
var initialize = _.once(createApplication);
initialize();
initialize();
// Application is only created once.
</pre>

      <p id="after">
        <b class="header">after</b><code>_.after(count, function)</code>
        <br />
        Creates a version of the function that will only be run after first
        being called <b>count</b> times. Useful for grouping asynchronous responses,
        where you want to be sure that all the async calls have finished, before
        proceeding.
      </p>
      <pre>
var renderNotes = _.after(notes.length, render);
_.each(notes, function(note) {
  note.asyncSave({success: renderNotes});
});
// renderNotes is run once, after all notes have saved.
</pre>

      <p id="before">
        <b class="header">before</b><code>_.before(count, function)</code>
        <br />
        Creates a version of the function that can be called no more than
        <b>count</b> times. The result of the last function call is memoized and
        returned when <b>count</b> has been reached.
      </p>
      <pre>
var monthlyMeeting = _.before(3, askForRaise);
monthlyMeeting();
monthlyMeeting();
monthlyMeeting();
// the result of any subsequent calls is the same as the second call
</pre>

      <p id="wrap">
        <b class="header">wrap</b><code>_.wrap(function, wrapper)</code>
        <br />
        Wraps the first <b>function</b> inside of the <b>wrapper</b> function,
        passing it as the first argument. This allows the <b>wrapper</b> to
        execute code before and after the <b>function</b> runs, adjust the arguments,
        and execute it conditionally.
      </p>
      <pre>
var hello = function(name) { return "hello: " + name; };
hello = _.wrap(hello, function(func) {
  return "before, " + func("moe") + ", after";
});
hello();
=&gt; 'before, hello: moe, after'
</pre>

      <p id="negate">
        <b class="header">negate</b><code>_.negate(predicate)</code>
        <br />
        Returns a new negated version of the <b>predicate</b> function.
      </p>
      <pre>
var isFalsy = _.negate(Boolean);
_.find([-2, -1, 0, 1, 2], isFalsy);
=&gt; 0
</pre>

      <p id="compose">
        <b class="header">compose</b><code>_.compose(*functions)</code>
        <br />
        Returns the composition of a list of <b>functions</b>, where each function
        consumes the return value of the function that follows. In math terms,
        composing the functions <i>f()</i>, <i>g()</i>, and <i>h()</i> produces
        <i>f(g(h()))</i>.
      </p>
      <pre>
var greet    = function(name){ return "hi: " + name; };
var exclaim  = function(statement){ return statement.toUpperCase() + "!"; };
var welcome = _.compose(greet, exclaim);
welcome('moe');
=&gt; 'hi: MOE!'

        <br />
        Returns a copy of the <b>object</b> where the keys have become the values

        Copy all of the properties in the <b>source</b> objects over to the
        <b>destination</b> object, and return the <b>destination</b> object.
        It's in-order, so the last source will override properties of the same

        Returns the same value that is used as the argument. In math:
        <tt>f(x) = x</tt><br />
        This function looks useless, but is used throughout Underscore as
        a default iteratee.
      </p>
      <pre>
var moe = {name: 'moe'};

      <p id="iteratee">
        <b class="header">iteratee</b><code>_.iteratee(value, [context], [argCount])</code>
        <br />
        A mostly-internal function to generate callbacks that can be applied
        to each element in a collection, returning the desired result — either
        identity, an arbitrary callback, a property matcher, or a property accessor.

      <p id="unescape">
        <b class="header">unescape</b><code>_.unescape(string)</code>

      <p id="now">
        <b class="header">now</b><code>_.now()</code>
        <br />
        Returns an integer timestamp for the current time, using the fastest
        method available in the runtime. Useful for implementing timing/animation
        functions.
      </p>
      <pre>
_.now();
=&gt; 1392066795351
</pre>

      <p id="template">
        <b class="header">template</b><code>_.template(templateString, [settings])</code>
        <br />
        Compiles JavaScript templates into functions that can be evaluated
        for rendering. Useful for rendering complicated bits of HTML from JSON
        data sources. Template functions can both interpolate variables, using
        <tt>&lt;%= &hellip; %&gt;</tt>, as well as execute arbitrary JavaScript code, with
        <tt>&lt;% &hellip; %&gt;</tt>. If you wish to interpolate a value, and have
        it be HTML-escaped, use <tt>&lt;%- &hellip; %&gt;</tt> When you evaluate a
        template function, pass in a <b>data</b> object that has properties
        corresponding to the template's free variables. The <b>settings</b> argument
        should be a hash containing any <tt>_.templateSettings</tt> that should be overridden.
      </p>

      <pre>
var compiled = _.template("hello: &lt;%= name %&gt;");
compiled({name: 'moe'});
=&gt; "hello: moe"

var template = _.template("&lt;b&gt;&lt;%- value %&gt;&lt;/b&gt;");
template({value: '&lt;script&gt;'});
=&gt; "&lt;b&gt;&amp;lt;script&amp;gt;&lt;/b&gt;"</pre>

      <p>
        You can also use <tt>print</tt> from within JavaScript code.  This is
        sometimes more convenient than using <tt>&lt;%= ... %&gt;</tt>.
      </p>

      <pre>
var compiled = _.template("&lt;% print('Hello ' + epithet); %&gt;");
compiled({epithet: "stooge"});
=&gt; "Hello stooge"</pre>

      <p>
        If ERB-style delimiters aren't your cup of tea, you can change Underscore's
        template settings to use different symbols to set off interpolated code.
        Define an <b>interpolate</b> regex to match expressions that should be
        interpolated verbatim, an <b>escape</b> regex to match expressions that should
        be inserted after being HTML escaped, and an <b>evaluate</b> regex to match
        expressions that should be evaluated without insertion into the resulting
        string. You may define or omit any combination of the three.
        For example, to perform
        <a href="https://github.com/janl/mustache.js#readme">Mustache.js</a>
        style templating:
      </p>

      <pre>
_.templateSettings = {
  interpolate: /\{\{(.+?)\}\}/g
};

var template = _.template("Hello {{ name }}!");
template({name: "Mustache"});
=&gt; "Hello Mustache!"</pre>

      <p>
        By default, <b>template</b> places the values from your data in the local scope
        via the <tt>with</tt> statement.  However, you can specify a single variable name
        with the <b>variable</b> setting. This can significantly improve the speed
        at which a template is able to render.
      </p>

      <pre>
_.template("Using 'with': <%= data.answer %>", {answer: 'no'}, {variable: 'data'});
=&gt; "Using 'with': no"</pre>

      <p>
        Precompiling your templates can be a big help when debugging errors you can't
        reproduce.  This is because precompiled templates can provide line numbers and
        a stack trace, something that is not possible when compiling templates on the client.
        The <b>source</b> property is available on the compiled template
        function for easy precompilation.
      </p>

      <pre>&lt;script&gt;
  JST.project = <%= _.template(jstText).source %>;
&lt;/script&gt;</pre>


      <h2 id="chaining">Chaining</h2>

      <p>
        You can use Underscore in either an object-oriented or a functional style,
        depending on your preference. The following two lines of code are
        identical ways to double a list of numbers.
      </p>

    <pre>
_.map([1, 2, 3], function(n){ return n * 2; });
_([1, 2, 3]).map(function(n){ return n * 2; });</pre>

      <p>
        Calling <tt>chain</tt> will cause all future method calls to return
        wrapped objects. When you've finished the computation, call
        <tt>value</tt> to retrieve the final value. Here's an example of chaining
        together a <b>map/flatten/reduce</b>, in order to get the word count of
        every word in a song.
      </p>

<pre>
var lyrics = [
  {line: 1, words: "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay"},
  {line: 2, words: "I sleep all night and I work all day"},
  {line: 3, words: "He's a lumberjack and he's okay"},
  {line: 4, words: "He sleeps all night and he works all day"}
];

_.chain(lyrics)
  .map(function(line) { return line.words.split(' '); })
  .flatten()
  .reduce(function(counts, word) {
    counts[word] = (counts[word] || 0) + 1;
    return counts;
  }, {})
  .value();

=&gt; {lumberjack: 2, all: 4, night: 2 ... }</pre>

        In addition, the
        <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/prototype">Array prototype's methods</a>
        are proxied through the chained Underscore object, so you can slip a
        <tt>reverse</tt> or a <tt>push</tt> into your chain, and continue to
        modify the array.
      </p>

</pre>

      <p id="value">

      <p id="1.7.0">
        <b class="header">1.7.0</b> &mdash; <small><i>August 26, 2014</i></small> &mdash; <a href="https://github.com/jashkenas/underscore/compare/1.6.0...1.7.0">Diff</a> &mdash; <a href="https://cdn.rawgit.com/jashkenas/underscore/1.7.0/index.html">Docs</a><br />
        <ul>
          <li>
            For consistency and speed across browsers, Underscore now ignores
            native array methods for <tt>forEach</tt>, <tt>map</tt>, <tt>reduce</tt>,
            <tt>reduceRight</tt>, <tt>filter</tt>, <tt>every</tt>, <tt>some</tt>,
            <tt>indexOf</tt>, and <tt>lastIndexOf</tt>. "Sparse" arrays are
            officially dead in Underscore.
          </li>
          <li>
            Added <tt>_.iteratee</tt> to customize the iterators used by collection
            functions. Many Underscore methods will take a string argument for easier
            <tt>_.property</tt>-style lookups, an object for <tt>_.where</tt>-style
            filtering, or a function as a custom callback.
          </li>
          <li>
            Added <tt>_.before</tt> as a counterpart to <tt>_.after</tt>.
          </li>
          <li>
            Added <tt>_.negate</tt> to invert the truth value of the passed-in
            predicate.
          </li>
          <li>
            Added <tt>_.noop</tt> as a handy empty placeholder function.
          </li>
          <li>
            <tt>_.isEmpty</tt> now works with <tt>arguments</tt> objects.
          </li>
          <li>
            <tt>_.has</tt> now guards against nullish objects.
          </li>
          <li>
            Override base methods like <tt>each</tt> and <tt>some</tt>
            and they'll be used internally by other Underscore functions too.
          </li>
          <li>
            The escape functions handle backticks (<tt>`</tt>), to deal with an
            IE &le; 8 bug.
          </li>
          <li>
            <tt>_.memoize</tt> exposes the cache of memoized values as a property
            on the returned function.
          </li>
          <li>
            <tt>_.pick</tt> accepts `iteratee` and `context` arguments for a more
            advanced callback.
          </li>
          <li>
            Underscore templates no longer accept an initial <tt>data</tt> object.
            <tt>_.template</tt> always returns a function now.
          </li>
          <li>
            Optimizations and code cleanup aplenty.
          </li>
        </ul>
      </p>

      <p id="1.6.0">
        <b class="header">1.6.0</b> &mdash; <small><i>February 10, 2014</i></small> &mdash; <a href="https://github.com/jashkenas/underscore/compare/1.5.2...1.6.0">Diff</a> &mdash; <a href="https://cdn.rawgit.com/jashkenas/underscore/1.6.0/index.html">Docs</a><br />
        <ul>
          <li>
            Underscore now registers itself for AMD (Require.js), Bower and Component,
            as well as being a CommonJS module and a regular (Java)Script.
            An ugliness, but perhaps a necessary one.
          </li>
          <li>
            Added <tt>_.partition</tt>, a way to split a collection into two lists
            of results — those that pass and those that fail a particular predicate.
          </li>
          <li>
            Added <tt>_.property</tt>, for easy creation of iterators that pull
            specific properties from objects. Useful in conjunction with other
            Underscore collection functions.

            Many improvements to <tt>_.template</tt>, which now provides the

          <li>
            The <tt>debounce</tt> function now takes an <tt>immediate</tt>

        Removed <tt>_.breakLoop</tt>, in favor of an ECMA5-style un-<i>break</i>-able
        each implementation &mdash; this removes the try/catch, and you'll now have

        <tt>_.template</tt> now correctly escapes backslashes in templates.
        Improved <tt>_.reduce</tt> compatibility with the ECMA5 version:

        Added the <tt>range</tt> function, a port of the
        <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#range">Python
        function of the same name</a>, for generating flexibly-numbered lists
        of integers. Original patch contributed by

        Added <tt>rest</tt> for Arrays and arguments objects, and aliased
        <tt>first</tt> as <tt>head</tt>, and <tt>rest</tt> as <tt>tail</tt>,
        thanks to <a href="https://github.com/lukesutton">Luke Sutton</a>'s patches.
        Added tests ensuring that all Underscore Array functions also work on
        <i>arguments</i> objects.

        Added <tt>isString</tt>, and <tt>isNumber</tt>, for consistency. Fixed
        <tt>_.isEqual(NaN, NaN)</tt> to return <i>true</i> (which is debatable).

        Chained Underscore objects now support the Array prototype methods, so
        that you can perform the full range of operations on a wrapped array
        without having to break your chain. Added a <tt>breakLoop</tt> method
        to <b>break</b> in the middle of any Underscore iteration. Added an
        <tt>isEmpty</tt> function that works on arrays and objects.
      </p>

        All Underscore functions can now be called in an object-oriented style,
        like so: <tt>_([1, 2, 3]).map(...);</tt>. Original patch provided by
        <a href="http://macournoyer.com/">Marc-André Cournoyer</a>.
        Wrapped objects can be chained through multiple
        method invocations. A <a href="#object-functions"><tt>functions</tt></a> method
        was added, providing a sorted list of all the functions in Underscore.

        All iterators are now passed in the original collection as their third
        argument, the same as JavaScript 1.6's <b>forEach</b>. Iterating over
        objects is now called with <tt>(value, key, collection)</tt>, for details
