Constructor Detail

### Aggregate

    public Aggregate()

Method Detail

### checkArguments

    public void checkArguments(StaticContext env)
                        throws XPathException

  Static analysis: prevent sorting of the argument

  Overrides:
    `checkArguments` in class `SystemFunction`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### getItemType

    public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

  Determine the item type of the value returned by the function

  Specified by:
    `getItemType` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `getItemType` in class `SystemFunction`
  Parameters:
    `th` -

### evaluateItem

    public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException

  Evaluate the function

  Specified by:
    `evaluateItem` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `evaluateItem` in class `ComputedExpression`
  Parameters:
    `context` - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
  Returns:
    the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

### count

    public static int count(SequenceIterator iter)
                     throws XPathException

  Get the number of items in a sequence identified by a SequenceIterator

  Parameters:
    `iter` - The SequenceIterator. This method moves the current position of the supplied iterator; if this isn't safe, make a copy of the iterator first by calling getAnother(). The supplied iterator must be positioned before the first item (there must have been no call on next()).
  Returns:
    the number of items in the underlying sequence
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if a failure occurs reading the input sequence

### isCountFunction

    public static boolean isCountFunction(Expression exp)

  Determine whether a given expression is a call to the count() function
