Method Detail

max

public static double max(SequenceIterator nsv)
                  throws XPathException

Get the maximum numeric value of the string-value of each of a set of nodes

Throws:

XPathException

min

public static double min(SequenceIterator nsv)
                  throws XPathException

Get the minimum numeric value of the string-value of each of a set of nodes

Throws:

XPathException

highest

public static Value highest(SequenceIterator nsv)
                     throws XPathException

Get the items with maximum numeric value of the string-value of each of a sequence of items. The items are returned in the order of the original sequence.

Throws:

XPathException

lowest

public static Value lowest(SequenceIterator nsv)
                    throws XPathException

Get the items with minimum numeric value of the string-value of each of a sequence of items The items are returned in the order of the original sequence.

Throws:

XPathException

abs

public static double abs(double x)

Get the absolute value of a numeric value (SStL)

sqrt

public static double sqrt(double x)

Get the square root of a numeric value (SStL)

power

public static NumericValue power(NumericValue n,
                                 NumericValue e)
                          throws XPathException

Get a number n raised to the power of another number e.

If e is a non-negative integer, then the result will have the same type as n, except that a float is always promoted to double.

If e is a negative integer, then the result will have the same type as n except that a float is treated as a double and an integer is treated as a decimal.

If e is not an integer (or an xs:decimal representing an integer), the result will be a double.

Parameters:

n - the first argument.

e - the second argument. M

Returns:

the result of n^e

Throws:

XPathException - if an arithmetic overflow is detected. However, there is no guarantee that overflow will always be detected, it may (especially with double arithmetic) lead to wrong answers being returned.
