NAME
|
|
sum - sum, or sum of defined sums
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
sum(x_1, x_2, ...)
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
x_1, x_2, ... any
|
|
|
|
return any
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
If an argument x_i is a list with elements e_1, e_2, ..., e_n, it
|
|
is treated as if x_i were replaced by e_1, e_2, ..., e_n; this may
|
|
continue recursively if any of the e_j is a list.
|
|
|
|
If an argument x_i is an object of type xx, then x_i is replaced by
|
|
xx_sum(x_i) if the function xx_sum() has been defined. If the
|
|
type xx has been defined by:
|
|
|
|
obj xx = {x, y, z},
|
|
|
|
an appropriate definition of xx_sum(a) is sometimes a.x + a.y + a.z.
|
|
sum(a) then returns the sum of the elements of a.
|
|
|
|
If x_i has the null value, it is ignored. Thus, sum(a, , b, , c)
|
|
will return the same as sum(a, b, c).
|
|
|
|
Assuming the above replacements, and that the x_1, x_2, ..., are
|
|
of types for which addition is defined, sum(x_1, x_2, ...) returns
|
|
the sum of the arguments.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
; print sum(2), sum(5, 3, 7, 2, 9), sum(3.2, -0.5, 8.7, -1.2, 2.5)
|
|
2 26 12.7
|
|
|
|
; print sum(list(3,5), 7, list(6, list(7,8), 2))
|
|
38
|
|
|
|
|
|
; obj point {x, y}
|
|
; define point_add(a,b) = obj point = {a.x + b.x, a.y + b.y}
|
|
; obj point A = {1, 5}
|
|
; obj point B = {1, 4}
|
|
; obj point C = {3, 3}
|
|
; print sum(A, B, C)
|
|
obj point {5, 12}
|
|
|
|
; define point_sum(a) = a.x
|
|
; print sum(A, B, C)
|
|

|
|
|
|
LIMITS
|
|
The number of arguments is not to exceed 1024.
