avg()

Here’s how to use avg() function.

A.avg()

Description:

Compute the average value of the non-null members in a sequence.

Syntax:

A.avg()

Equivalent to avg(x1,…,xn)

Note:

The function computes the average value of the non-null members in a sequence, and is equal to A.sum()/A.count(). If the number of non-null members is 0, the average value will be null. Members that are not numerical values will be automatically skipped.

Parameters:

A	A sequence

Return value:

The average value of the non-null members in sequence A

Example:

	A
1	=[1,3,5,6].avg()	3.75
2	=[2,null,4,3].avg()	3.0
3	=[].avg()	null
4	=[2,4,3,"aaa"].avg()	3.0 Skip members that are not numerical values
5	=avg(2,null,4,3)	3.0

A.max()

A.avg(x)

 

A.avg( x )

Description:

 Compute x with each member of the sequence and then compute the average value of the non-null members of the new sequence.

Syntax:

A.avg(x)

Equivalent to A.(x).avg()

Note:

The function computes x with each member of the sequence and returns the average value of the non-null members of the new sequence.

Parameters:

A	A sequence
x	Generally an expression of a single field name, or a legal expression composed of multiple field names

Return value:

Numerical values

Example:

	A
1	=demo.query("select * from EMPLOYEE")
2	=A1.avg(SALARY)	Compute the average value of non-null values of SALARY
3	=A1.(SALARY+100).avg()	Add 100 to each value of SALARY and then compute the average value
