array_difference

Description

Calculates the difference between every two neighboring elements of an array by subtracting each element from its following element and returns an array that consists of the differences.

Syntax

array_difference(input)

Parameters

input: the array for which you want to calculate the differences between every two neighboring elements.

Return value

Returns an array of the same data type and length as the array that you specify in the input parameter.

Examples

Example 1:

mysql> SELECT array_difference([342, 32423, 213, 23432]);
+-----------------------------------------+
| array_difference([342,32423,213,23432]) |
+-----------------------------------------+
| [0,32081,-32210,23219]                  |
+-----------------------------------------+

Example 2:

mysql> SELECT array_difference([342, 32423, 213, null, 23432]);
+----------------------------------------------+
| array_difference([342,32423,213,NULL,23432]) |
+----------------------------------------------+
| [0,32081,-32210,null,null]                   |
+----------------------------------------------+

Example 3:

mysql> SELECT array_difference([1.2, 2.3, 3.2, 4324242.55]);
+--------------------------------------------+
| array_difference([1.2,2.3,3.2,4324242.55]) |
+--------------------------------------------+
| [0,1.1,0.9,4324239.35]                     |
+--------------------------------------------+

Example 4:

mysql> SELECT array_difference([false, true, false]);
+----------------------------------------+
| array_difference([FALSE, TRUE, FALSE]) |
+----------------------------------------+
| [0,1,-1]                               |
+----------------------------------------+
