public class Arrays
extends java.lang.Object
If you want to calculate aggregating functions like sum, min, max etc
on multiple values which are not part of an array,
it's easier to use the functions from the Lists
class.
Note that none of these functions will calculate statistical functions over a whole column of a table.
The functions fall into a number of categories:
size
,
count
,
countTrue
,
maximum
,
minimum
,
sum
,
mean
,
median
,
quantile
,
stdev
,
variance
,
join
.
add
,
subtract
,
multiply
,
divide
,
reciprocal
,
condition
.
array
,
which lets you assemble an array value from a list of scalar numbers.
This can be used with the aggregating functions here,
but it's generally easier to use the corresponding functions from
the Lists
class.
