math

Mathematical functions that generally only operate on a list of numbers (integers, decimals, bytes) and tables. Currently the following functions are implemented:

math avg: Finds the average of a list of numbers or tables
math eval: Evaluates a list of math expressions into numbers
math min: Finds the minimum within a list of numbers or tables
math max: Finds the maximum within a list of numbers or tables
math median: Finds the median of a list of numbers or tables
math sum: Finds the sum of a list of numbers or tables

However, the mathematical functions like min and max are more permissive and also work on Dates.

Examples

To get the average of the file sizes in a directory, simply pipe the size column from the ls command to the average command.

To get the sum of the characters that make up your present working directory.

> pwd | split row / | size | get chars | math sum
50

Errors

math functions are aggregation functions so empty lists are invalid

> echo [] | math avg
error: Error: Unexpected: Cannot perform aggregate math operation on empty data
