Sum All Numbers in a Range - Better way?

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

This code works, is there a more elegant solution? Is created a new array and using reduce to sumAll in the array better?

Your code so far


function sumAll(arr) {

  let total = 0; 
  for (let i = Math.min(...arr); i <= Math.max(...arr); i++){
  total+= i;
  }
  return total;
} 

sumAll([1, 4]);

Can you define elegant please.
For me if the code works it’s good to go. Maybe learn about big O notation if you want to write more efficient code.
