PIPQL Manual
There are currently two functions available in PIPQL:
- count. This counts the number of times a pip shows. Its parameter is unique, so count(O) is the same as count(OO); that is the second O is meaningless. Using count(*) is a shorthand to count all pips that show.
- colours/colors. This counts the number of times a colour shows. Again the parameter is unique, so colours(OO) matches colours(O). colours(*) counts all the colours, colours(OB) would count how often an O or B shows. colours(OB) will never be greater than 2; as an example.
Compound queries can be entered above in two ways. They can be joined together with ' AND ' to form the same query (see Ultra Magnus example below), or they can be run in parallel by separating with a comma.
If a query has an operator, it will let you know the %age of times that that operation is true. i.e. '=4' will tell you how often the answer was 4.
If a query does not have an operator, it will return the average (mean) of the values calculated.
Whitespace is allowed in queries to improve readability.
