In SPL, parse(s) function parses string s as an appropriate data type.
SPL script:
| A | |
|---|---|
| 1 | =file(“Olympic.csv”).import@cqt() |
| 2 | =A1.run(Medal=parse(Medal)) |
| 3 | =A2.group(Game) |
| 4 | =A3.select(~.select(Nation==“China”).Medal>~.select(Nation==“Russia”).Medal) |
| 5 | =A4.(Game) |
A1 Import Olympic medal ranking table.
A2 Use parse() function to parse Medal field value as a sequence.
A3 Group A2’s records by Game.
A4 Use operator > to compare gold medal count, silver medal count and copper medal count in order, and select games where China’s rank is before Russia’s.
