        <div>The functions are evaluated starting with the innermost

          <b>Subject: </b>[gradsusr] order of nested functions<br>
          <br>
          Hi All,<br>
          <br>
          What is the order in which GrADS processes nested<br>
          function calls: from the inside to outside, or vice<br>
          versa? &nbsp;For example,<br>
          <br>
          &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;ga-&gt; d
          &nbsp;max(ave(cloud,time=jan1850,time=dec1900),z=1,z=4)<br>
          <br>
          My intent was to take the average, and then the maximum.
          &nbsp;Looking<br>
          at the output, it appears the max is taken first and then
          averaged.<br>
          I could be misinterpreting the meaning of the output however.<br>
          <br>
          Thank you, &nbsp;Matt<br>
