The command "csvstat --sum ${data-csv}" is used to calculate the sum of numeric values in a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file.
- "csvstat" is a command-line tool used for analyzing and summarizing CSV files.
- "--sum" is an option or flag provided to the "csvstat" command, which instructs it to calculate the sum of numeric columns in the CSV file.
- "${data-csv}" is a placeholder or variable that needs to be replaced with the actual file name or path of the CSV file you want to analyze.
Once you provide the actual file name or path, executing this command will trigger the "csvstat" tool to read the CSV file, identify numeric columns, and calculate the sum of those columns. It will then display the sum results on the command line or in the output.
