Which three of the following are types of input or output parameters for a data function?

Choose 3 answers

Suggested Answer: A, B, E

A data function is a reusable calculation that can be applied to data in a Spotfire analysis. A data function can have input and output parameters that define how the data function interacts with the data and the analysis. The input parameters specify what data or values are required for the data function to run, and the output parameters specify what data or values are returned by the data function.The types of input or output parameters for a data function are1:

Column: A column parameter represents a single column of data from a data table. A column parameter can be used as input to provide a vector of values to the data function, or as output to create a new column in the data table or overwrite an existing column. A column parameter can have a data type such as real, integer, string, or boolean.

Document property: A document property parameter represents a value that is stored in the analysis document and can be used to control various aspects of the analysis, such as filters, markings, colors, etc. A document property parameter can be used as input to provide a scalar value to the data function, or as output to create a new document property or overwrite an existing document property. A document property parameter can have a data type such as real, integer, string, boolean, date, or time.

Value: A value parameter represents a scalar value that is entered by the user or calculated by the data function. A value parameter can be used as input to provide a constant or variable value to the data function, or as output to return a single value from the data function. A value parameter can have a data type such as real, integer, string, boolean, date, or time.

The other options, column property, table, and visualization, are not valid types of input or output parameters for a data function.Reference:

Visualization isn’t an input/output parameter, right?

Wava 10 months ago

A and E are solid picks, but I’m not sure about C.

Toi 11 months ago

I think D should be in there too.

Karan 11 months ago

Definitely A, C, and E!

Asuncion 11 months ago

Wait, are document properties really a type?

Jeannetta 11 months ago

I remember "Visualization" being mentioned in our notes, but I don't think it's an input/output parameter. I might go with "Column," "Table," and "Value."

Maybelle 11 months ago

I’m leaning towards "Column property" as one of the answers, but I’m not entirely confident about the others.

Dusti 12 months ago

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like "Value" might be an input parameter, but I can't recall if "Document property" fits in there too.

Jutta 12 months ago

I think I remember that "Column" and "Table" are definitely types of parameters, but I'm not sure about the third one.

This is a good question to test our understanding of data function parameters. I'll methodically go through each option and eliminate the ones that don't seem to fit, then select the 3 that are the clearest types of parameters.

Scarlet 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused by this question. Some of these options seem similar, and I'm not sure I fully understand the differences between them in the context of data functions. I'll have to make an educated guess.

Marguerita 1 year ago

Okay, I've got this. Column, value, and table are the three types of input/output parameters that stand out to me. I'm confident in those choices.

Valentin 1 year ago

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not totally sure about the difference between some of these options like column, column property, and document property. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Viva 1 year ago

This looks like a straightforward multiple choice question. I'll carefully read through the options and try to identify the 3 that are clearly types of input or output parameters.

Why are we even discussing this? E, obviously. The rest are just distractions.

This is easy, just pick A, D, and F. Column, table, and visualization - boom, done!

Arlen 1 year ago

I'm leaning towards B, C, and E. Can't forget about those document and column properties!

↳ replying to Arlen

I think B, C, and E are the correct choices.

Moon 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm thinking D, E, and F. Gotta cover the table, value, and visualization bases, you know?

Jani 1 year ago

↳ replying to Moon

I agree, those options cover the table, value, and visualization parameters.

Dyan 1 year ago

↳ replying to Moon

I think you're right, D, E, and F are the correct choices.

Honey 1 year ago

I'm not sure about Document property. I think Table, Value, and Visualization could also be types of input or output parameters.

Albert 1 year ago

I agree with Eladia. Column, Document property, and Column property make sense as input or output parameters.

Eladia 1 year ago

I think A, B, and C are types of input or output parameters for a data function.

Aimee 1 year ago

A, C, and E seem like the obvious choices here. Can't go wrong with those.
