Spread of numbers
How spread out a list of numbers is: the variance and the standard deviation.
math.spread
In a flow
“Works out spread of numbers whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
[2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9] → deviation 2
What it does
How spread out a list of numbers is: the variance and the standard deviation. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 3 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: how spread out a list of numbers is: the variance and the standard deviation.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Numbers List
-
The numbers to use, like the Numbers from Find numbers.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in a list. e.g. Hello there, and more like it
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.

Values it gives
- Standard deviation Number
-
The usual distance from the average. e.g. 2
If it's empty: Empty when the step didn't make one (it stopped early or was skipped); steps reading it get nothing.
