Top Python SequenceIterator Methods

The following Python functions take an integer argument n and produce result sequences of the top n elements as described in the table below:

top_max( n )	Return the top n maximum values in the object's sequence
top_min( n )	Return the top n minimum values in the object's sequence
top_pos_max( n )	Return the positions of the top n maximum values in the object's sequence
top_pos_min( n )	Return the positions of the top n minimum values in the object's sequence

Example

Following is an example code snippet demonstrating one of these functions:

         
    cursor = con.cursor("Quote", "by_sym")
    for quote in cursor:
        ...
        hi20Iterator = quote.close.top_max( 20 )
            
        ...
