A.( x,... )

Read(3006) Label: sequence, member, expression,

Description:

Compute an expression with each member of a sequence.

Syntax:

A.(x,…)

 

A.()

return A itself

Note:

The function computes expression x,… over each member in sequence or table sequence A and returns result of the last of expression x. Use "~" to reference the current member in A.

Parameter:

A

A sequence/a record sequence

x

An expression, which is generally a field name or a legal expression composed of field names and in which "~" is used to reference the current record

Option:

@m

Enable parallel processing where the order of task computations is not fixed

@z

Perform an inverse operation; only apply to non-pure sequences

Return value:

A sequence

Example:

 

A

 

1

=[1,2,3].(~*~)

Return [1,4,9]; the tilde ~ means referencing the current member.

2

=demo.query("select EID,NAME,BIRTHDAY from EMPLOYEE where EID<10")

Return a table sequence.

3

=A2.(EID)

Return EID column of A2’s sequence.

4

=A2.(age(BIRTHDAY))

Calculate ages according to BIRTHDAY.

5

=A2.()

Return A2’s sequence.

6

=demo.query("select top 10 EID,NAME,GENDER from EMPLOYEE ")

7

=A6.(seq(GENDER))

Number members having same GENDER value in A6’s sequence.

8

=A6.@z(seq(GENDER))

Use @z option to perform an inverse operation.

9

=[1,2,3].(~=iterate(~~+~),~*10)

As there are multiple expressions, return result of the last expression, which is [10, 30,60] .
