Using aggregate on overlap a history of height averages of party guests is computed. More...


Detailed Description

Using aggregate on overlap a history of height averages of party guests is computed.

Example partys_height_average.cpp In partys_height_average.cpp we compute yet another aggregation: The average height of guests as it changes over time. This is done by defining a class counted_sum that sums up heights and counts the number of guests via an operator +=.

Based on the operator += we can aggregate counted sums on addition of interval value pairs into an interval_map.
