✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is AVERAGE(1) bestie, and it's literally the manual page for numaverage — the little icon that finds the average of a set of numbers. math but make it cute 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

numaverage [-dhiIlmMV] <FILE>

| numaverage [-dhiIlmMV]    (Input on STDIN from pipeline.)

numaverage [-dhiIlmMV]      (Input on STDIN.  Use Ctrl-D to stop.)

so basically three ways to feed it, no cap 🫶 you can hand it a <FILE>, you can pipe stuff in with |, or you can just run it bare and type your numbers in — then hit Ctrl-D to stop. that's the whole vibe check.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

by default numaverage looks at all the numbers you give it and gives you the average. that's it, that's the main character energy ✨

but wait, there's more 👑 other options let you go find the mode</c> and the median too. so it's not just one trick, it's giving versatility fr fr.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -i — only hands you back the integer portion of the final sum. the decimal part? not invited. 🙈
  • -I — only hands you back the decimal portion of the final sum. integer part? blocked. 💀
  • -m — finds the mode (the number that shows up the most) in your list of numbers. and if there's more than one mode? you get the first completed mode. periodt.
  • -M — finds the median (the middle number) of your list of numbers. iconic middle-child behavior 🎀
  • -l — this one's the sidekick to the median: when you're finding the median and the count of numbers in the set is even, use the lower middle number instead of the upper middle number. choose wisely bestie 💅
  • -h — help! you're literally looking at it rn 😭 you're welcome.
  • -V — increase verbosity. more words, more drama, more info 🔥
  • -d — debug mode. for developers 🧚 (devs, this one's for you)
