- The `vector_reduce` callback method requires the caller to initialize an _"accumulator"_ variable before calling this method;

- The `vector_filter` callback method is expected to return non-zero to keep the element and zero to filter it out.

- The `env` argument is an optional parameter to pass the external environment to the callback function. It is used to mock the behavior of closures, where

## Sorting
|
||||
As indicated in the [its documentation](/docs/vector.md), the `Vector` data type
|
||||
provides an efficient in-place sorting function called `vector_sort` that uses
|
||||
a builtin implementation of the [Quicksort algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksort). This method requires an user-defined comparison procedure which allows the
|
||||
caller to customize the sorting behavior. The comparison procedure must adhere to the

following specification:
