## Class LongSummaryStatistics

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.LongSummaryStatistics

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    IntConsumer, LongConsumer

      public class LongSummaryStatistics
      extends Object
      implements LongConsumer, IntConsumer

  A state object for collecting statistics such as count, min, max, sum, and average.

  This class is designed to work with (though does not require) streams. For example, you can compute summary statistics on a stream of longs with:

       LongSummaryStatistics stats = longStream.collect(LongSummaryStatistics::new,
                                                        LongSummaryStatistics::accept,
                                                        LongSummaryStatistics::combine);

  `LongSummaryStatistics` can be used as a Stream.collect(Collector) reduction} target for a stream. For example:

       LongSummaryStatistics stats = people.stream()
                                           .collect(Collectors.summarizingLong(Person::getAge));

  This computes, in a single pass, the count of people, as well as the minimum, maximum, sum, and average of their ages.
  Implementation Note:
    This implementation is not thread safe. However, it is safe to use `Collectors.toLongStatistics()` on a parallel stream, because the parallel implementation of `Stream.collect()` provides the necessary partitioning, isolation, and merging of results for safe and efficient parallel execution.

    This implementation does not check for overflow of the sum.

    - #### LongSummaryStatistics

          public LongSummaryStatistics()

      Construct an empty instance with zero count, zero sum, `Long.MAX_VALUE` min, `Long.MIN_VALUE` max and zero average.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### accept

          public void accept(int value)

      Records a new `int` value into the summary information.
      Specified by:
        `accept` in interface `IntConsumer`
      Parameters:
        `value` - the input value

    - #### accept

          public void accept(long value)

      Records a new `long` value into the summary information.
      Specified by:
        `accept` in interface `LongConsumer`
      Parameters:
        `value` - the input value

    - #### combine

          public void combine(LongSummaryStatistics other)

      Combines the state of another `LongSummaryStatistics` into this one.
      Parameters:
        `other` - another `LongSummaryStatistics`
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `other` is null

    - #### getCount

          public final long getCount()

      Returns the count of values recorded.
      Returns:
        the count of values

    - #### getSum

          public final long getSum()

      Returns the sum of values recorded, or zero if no values have been recorded.
      Returns:
        the sum of values, or zero if none

    - #### getMin

          public final long getMin()

      Returns the minimum value recorded, or `Long.MAX_VALUE` if no values have been recorded.
      Returns:
        the minimum value, or `Long.MAX_VALUE` if none

    - #### getMax

          public final long getMax()

      Returns the maximum value recorded, or `Long.MIN_VALUE` if no values have been recorded
      Returns:
        the maximum value, or `Long.MIN_VALUE` if none

    - #### getAverage

          public final double getAverage()

      Returns the arithmetic mean of values recorded, or zero if no values have been recorded.
      Returns:
        The arithmetic mean of values, or zero if none

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Description copied from class: `Object`
      Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the `toString` method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

      The `toString` method for class `Object` returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character ``@`', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

      >      getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        a string representation of the object.
