public Average()
Method Detail

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()
Description copied from class: SystemFunction
An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.

Overrides:
getImplementationMethod in class SystemFunction
Returns:
the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
Determine the item type of the value returned by the function

Overrides:
getItemType in class SystemFunction
Parameters:
th - the type hierarchy cache
Returns:
a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()
Determine the cardinality of the function.

Overrides:
computeCardinality in class SystemFunction
Returns:
the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException
Evaluate the function

Overrides:
evaluateItem in class Expression
Parameters:
context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
Returns:
the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
Throws:
XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

average

public static AtomicValue average(SequenceIterator iter,
                                  XPathContext context,
                                  SourceLocator location)
                           throws XPathException
Calculate average

Parameters:
iter - iterator over the items to be totalled
context - the XPath dynamic context
location - location of the expression in the source for diagnostics
Returns:
the average of the values
Throws:
XPathException

call

public SequenceIterator call(SequenceIterator[] arguments,
                             XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException
Description copied from interface: CallableExpression
Evaluate the expression

Specified by:
call in interface CallableExpression
Parameters:
arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIterators
context - the dynamic evaluation context
Returns:
the result of the evaluation, in the form of a SequenceIterator
Throws:
XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression
