sum4

sum4(X)

X is a scalar/vector/matrix/table.

If X is a vector, return the sum of the fourth powers of all the elements in X.

If X is a matrix, calculate the sum of the fourth powers for each column of X and return a vector.

If X is a table, calculate the sum of the fourth powers for each column of X and return a table.

As with all aggregate functions, NULL values are not included in the calculation.

If all elements of a calculation are NULLs, the result is NULL.

Please note that the data type of the result is always DOUBLE, even if the data type of X is INT or LONG.
