* It can sometimes be useful to get the average of data in an API result set,
|
|
* be it from a column, or a collection of cells. This method provides exactly
|
|
* that ability.
|
|
*
|
|
* @name average()
|
|
* @summary Average the values in a data set.
|
|
* @author [Allan Jardine](http://sprymedia.co.uk)
|
|
* @requires DataTables 1.10+
|
|
*
|
|
* @returns {Number} Calculated average
|
|
*
|
|
* @example
|
|
* // Average a column
|
|
* var table = $('#example').DataTable();
|
|
* table.column( 3 ).data().average();
|
|
*
|
|
* @example
|
|
* // Average two cells
|
|
* var table = $('#example').DataTable();
|
|
* table.cells( 0, [3,4] ).data().average();
