sum4

Syntax

sum4(X)

Arguments

X is a scalar/vector/matrix/table.

Details

If X is a vector, return the sum of the fourth powers of all the elements in X.

If X is a matrix, calculate the sum of the fourth powers for each column of X and return a vector.

If X is a table, calculate the sum of the fourth powers for each column of X and return a table.

As with all aggregate functions, null values are not included in the calculation.

If all elements of a calculation are null values, the result is NULL.

Please note that the data type of the result is always DOUBLE, even if the data type of X is INT or LONG.

Examples

sum4(1 2 3);
// output: 98

sum4(1 NULL NULL);
// output: 1

sum4(1.5 4.6 7.8);
// output: 4154.3137

m=matrix(1 2 3, 4 5 6);
m;
#0 #1
1 4
2 5
3 6
sum4(m);
// output: [98,2177]
