getStatistics

getStatistics(stats: JadeDynamicObject input);

The getStatistics method of the Array class analyzes the array and returns structural statistics in the attributes of a JadeDynamicObject.

The attributes of the dynamic object containing array statistics are defined and interpreted as follows.

Attribute	Description
blockSize	Entries per block
keyLength	Size of the key in bytes (always 4 for an array)
entrySize	Size of each array entry in bytes
size	Number of entries in the array (that is, the size of the array itself)
blockCount	Total number of blocks in the array
height	Number of levels (always 1 for an array)
minEntries	Minimum number of entries found in any block
maxEntries	Maximum number of entries found in any block
avgEntries	Average number of entries in array blocks
loadFactor	Actual average percent loading of array blocks (entries for each block)

To compute the block size in bytes, multiply the blockSize attribute by the entrySize attribute. The maximum collection block size is 256K bytes (that is, the value defined by the MaximumCollectionBlockSize global constant in the SystemLimits category).

The JadeDynamicObjectNames category global constants for collection statistics are listed in the following table, where the name of the dynamic object represents the collection type of the receiver.

Global Constant	String Value
JStats_ArrayName	"JStatsArray"
JStats_DictionaryName	"JStatsDictionary"
JStats_JadeBytesName	"JStatsJadeBytes"
JStats_SetName	"JStatsName"

The JadeDynamicObjectTypes category global constants for collection statistics are listed in the following table, where the type of the dynamic object represents the collection type of the receiver.

Global Constant	Integer Value
JStats_ArrayType	101
JStats_DictionaryType	102
JStats_JadeBytesType	104
JStats_SetType	103
