what's lq & uq in microbenchmark library?

microbenchmark, r

Solution

Lower and upper quartiles, ie 25% and 75% of the distribution with median being 50%.

Problem

Sorry for asking newbie question. I don't how to interpret the lq and uq column in the result of microbenchmark. Here is an example: ``` Unit: microseconds expr min lq median uq max neval f(1000, 1) 1082.875 1139.485 1151.071 1162.327 1199918.296 1000 g(1000, 1) 193.004 219.157 221.806 228.427 1099.097 1000 ```
