Class Aggregate

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.expr.Expression

net.sf.saxon.expr.FunctionCall

net.sf.saxon.functions.SystemFunction

net.sf.saxon.functions.Aggregate

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, SourceLocator, LocationProvider, SaxonLocator, InstructionInfo, Locator

Direct Known Subclasses:

Average, Count, Empty, Exists, Sum

public abstract class Aggregate
extends SystemFunction

This abstract class provides functionality common to the sum(), avg(), count(), exists(), and empty() functions. These all take a sequence as input and produce a singleton as output; and they are all independent of the ordering of the items in the input.
