A numeric value containing the sum of the squares of array elements.

Name

Type

Description

PriceArray

Numeric Array

Specifies the name of a numeric array upon which the summation of squares is calculated.

Size

Numeric

Sets the number of data elements (size) in the array to evaluate.

Remarks

This function accumulates the squared values of the array and returns the sum total.

The value for the Size input parameter should always be a whole number greater than 0 and is typically equal to the number of data elements in the array.

The SummationSqrArray function only works with one-dimensional arrays.

 The first element of the array that is used by this function is element 1. Element 0 of the array is not used.

Example

The following assigns the summed squares of elements 1 to 20 of myArray to the pre-declared variable Value1 (element 0 of myArray is ignored):

Array: myArray[20](0);

{… add EL statements here to assign values to array elements... }

Value1 = SummationSqrArray(MyArray, 20);
