[ncl-talk] Missing value

[Dennis Shea]

Like Alan wrote .... did you try it? That is the best way to learn a
language.

  A = 1e20
  A at _FillValue = 1e20
  B = 10
  C = 20

  X = A+B+C               ; A=A at _FillValue will return X=A@ _FillValue
  print(X)

  X = sum( (/A,B,C/) )
  print(X)                    ; X=30

  X = avg(/A,B,C/) )
  print(X)                   ; X=15
