Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!? And we will say, hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-) Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18. RCS served us well. But now it is time to move on. And so we are switching to git. Calc releases produce a lot of file changes. In the 125 releases of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there have been 15473 file mods!

NAME
|
|
avg - average (arithmetic) mean of values
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
avg(x_1, x_2, ...)
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
x_1, ... arithmetic or list
|
|
|
|
return as determined by types of items averaged
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
If there are n non-list arguments x_1, x_2, ..., x_n,
|
|
for which the required additions and division by n are defined,
|
|
avg(x_1, x_2, ..., x_n) returns the value of:
|
|
|
|
(x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n)/n.
|
|
|
|
If the x_i are real, the result will be a real number; if the
|
|
x_i are real or complex numbers, the result will be a real or complex
|
|
number. If the x_i are summable matrices the result will be a matrix
|
|
of the same size (e.g. if the x_i are all 3 x 4 matrices with real
|
|
entries, the result will be a 3 x 4 matrix with real entries).
|
|
|
|
If an argument x_i is list-valued, e.g. list(y_1, y_2, ...), this
|
|
is treated as contributing y_1, y_2, ... to the list of items to
|
|
be averaged.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
; print avg(1,2,3,4,5), avg(list(1,2,3,4,5)), avg(1,2,list(3,4,5))
|
|
3 3 3
|
|
|
|
; mat x[2,2] = {1,2,3,4}
|
|
; mat y[2,2] = {1,2,4,8}
|
|
; avg(x,y)
|
|
|
|
mat [2,2] (4 elements, 4 nonzero):
|
|
[0,0] = 1
|
|
[0,1] = 2
|
|
[1,0] = 3.5
|
|
[1,1] = 6
|
|
|
|
LIMITS
|
|
The number of arguments is not to exceed 1024.
