$ ./ds < input

USAGE:

./ds [-e] [-V] [-s] [-M] [-t] [-A] [-a] [-f] [-m] [-w] [-v] [--] [--version] [-h]

Where:

-e, --standard-deviation Print standard deviation

-V, --variance Print variance

-s, --sum Print sum of values

-M, --max Print maximum value

-t, --third-quartile Print third quartile

-A, --median Print median value

-a, --mean Print mean value

-f, --first-quartile Print first quartile
