Reset

Empties the accumulator so that it can be reused.

Syntax

RunningStats.Reset( )

Notes

• Cheap: it clears a handful of scalars rather than freeing anything.
• The point is to reuse one accumulator across many batches without reconstructing it in a loop.
• After it, Count is 0 and the statistics read as they do on a fresh one.

Examples

#import "std/numeric"
using numeric

dim rs as RunningStats
for i as int32 = 1 to 5 : rs.Add( i ) : next
print rs.Count( )            '' 5

rs.Reset( )
print rs.Count( )            '' 0

'' Ready for the next batch, with nothing reallocated
rs.Add( 42 )
print rs.Mean( )             '' 42
