This returns the result of each column of the Array being operated on by the function or array of functions passed. The parameters provided following the function/function array is passed to the function with each column as the first parameter. Used for aggregate functions or functions that apply on each column (such as a vertical spreadsheet calculation).

For example, a=|4,4,1..10|

5 6 7 8
9 10 1 2
3 4 5 6

a.$$$(SUM)

18
22

gives row wise sums of each row.

Functions can be defined as a string with a variable, say, x. The following shows a calculation done in each column by subracting second from the first element in each column.

a.$$$("[x[2],x[0],x[2]-x[0]]")
