Average() Function

[ᚱ ᛁ ᚢ ᛅ ᚱ ᛏ ᛁ ᛅ ᛋ]

Hello,

Technical Question: When we call the Average() function and pass the data and length, does it loop back through the specified length, or does it simply return the average of the data over that length?

@rewardiaz Yes, it returns the data over the length by performing a lookback... You can call it a loop back if you like because the function has to extrapolate the data set for every iteration of the code calling the function - we just don't know exactly how the Average() function is coded... Just because Thinkscript doesn't support arrays doesn't mean that the underlying Java doesn't (it does)...
