| 3 | + | ## Functions | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | All functions are exported from `math.js`. | |
| 6 | + | ||
| 7 | + | ```js | |
| 8 | + | const { add, multiply, power, mean, median, standard_deviation } = require("./math"); | |
| 9 | + | ``` | |
| 10 | + | ||
| 11 | + | - `add(a, b)`: returns the sum of `a` and `b`. | |
| 12 | + | ```js | |
| 13 | + | add(2, 3); // 5 | |
| 14 | + | ``` | |
| 15 | + | - `multiply(a, b)`: returns the product of `a` and `b`. | |
| 16 | + | ```js | |
| 17 | + | multiply(4, 5); // 20 | |
| 18 | + | ``` | |
| 19 | + | - `power(base, exponent)`: returns `base` raised to a whole-number `exponent`; throws a `RangeError` if `exponent` is negative. | |
| 20 | + | ```js | |
| 21 | + | power(2, 3); // 8 | |
| 22 | + | ``` | |
| 23 | + | - `mean(numbers)`: returns the average of an array of numbers; throws a `TypeError` if the array is empty. | |
| 24 | + | ```js | |
| 25 | + | mean([1, 2, 3, 4]); // 2.5 | |
| 26 | + | ``` | |
| 27 | + | - `median(numbers)`: returns the middle value (the average of the two middle values when the length is even); throws a `TypeError` if the array is empty. | |
| 28 | + | ```js | |
| 29 | + | median([3, 1, 2]); // 2 | |
| 30 | + | median([1, 2, 3, 4]); // 2.5 | |
| 31 | + | ``` | |
| 32 | + | - `standard_deviation(numbers)`: returns the population standard deviation; throws a `TypeError` if the array is empty. | |
| 33 | + | ```js | |
| 34 | + | standard_deviation([2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9]); // 2 | |
| 35 | + | ``` |
