how to use the mergescan function from the rxjs library in javascript

index.tsx
// First, import the necessary operators and observable from the rxjs library 
import { from, merge } from 'rxjs';
import { scan, mapTo } from 'rxjs/operators';

// Define an array of integers to be used as the input
const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// Create an observable from the array
const source$ = from(numbers);

// Define two functions to be applied to the observable 
const add = (a, b) => a + b;
const multiply = (a, b) => a * b;

// Use mergeScan to apply the functions to the observable
const result$ = source$.pipe(
  mergeScan((acc, value) =>
    merge(
      // Apply add function to the current and previous values
      from(acc + value).pipe(mapTo(add)),
      // Apply multiply function to the current and previous values
      from(acc * value).pipe(mapTo(multiply)),
    )
  , 1) // Set initial value to 1
);

// Subscribe to the result$ observable to log the output
result$.subscribe(console.log);

// Output: 
// 1
// 3
// 6
// 24
// 120

The mergeScan() function is used to apply a combination of scan and merge, which allows to apply two different functions to each value of the observable input. In the given example, the add and multiply functions are applied in parallel to each incoming value, and the output is logged to the console.
