NAME
hmean - harmonic mean of a number of values
SYNOPSIS
hmean(x_1, x_2, ...)
TYPES
x_1, ... arithmetic or list
return determined by types of arguments, or null
DESCRIPTION
The null value is returned if there are no arguments.
If there are n non-list arguments x_1, x_2, ... and the
required operations are defined, hmean(x_1, x_2, ...) returns the
value of:
n/(inverse(x_1) + inverse(x_2) + ... + inverse(x_n)).
If an argument x_i is a list as defined by list(y_1, ..., y_m)
this is treated as if in (x_1, x_2, ...), x_i is replaced by
y_1, ..., y_m.
EXAMPLE
> c = config("mode", "frac")
> print hmean(1), hmean(1,2), hmean(1,2,3), hmean(1,2,3,4), hmean(1,2,0,3)
1 4/3 18/11 48/25 0
LIMITS
The number of arguments is not to exceed 100.
LIBRARY
