\section{Loading, useful packages}

In order to load \texttt{randintlist}, simply use:

\begin{DemoCode}{listing only}
\usepackage{commalists-tools}
\end{DemoCode}

Loaded packages are \texttt{listofitems}, \texttt{xintexpr} and \texttt{xstring}.

\smallskip

The idea is to propose "reusage" of lists with \texttt{listofitems} or other commands, for example.

\section{The individual macros}

\subsection{Global usage}

Package \texttt{commalists-tools} supports (basic) manipulations on numeral comma separated lists:

\begin{itemize}
	\item sorting;
	\item adding values;
	\item removing values;
	\item counting values;
	\item mean, sum, product;
	\item get value, get length;
	\item etc.
\end{itemize}

Starred versions only print the result, whereas non starred versions store the result into a macro.

\medskip

\hfill\textbf{All engines \TeX\ are compatible with this package.}\hfill~

\section{Macros for already processed lists}

In order to speed up the process, it's possible to "define" a list (processed with \texttt{listofitems}) and the to call specific macros.

\begin{DemoCode}{listing only}
%define a list, to be processed by listofitems
\definemylist{rawlist}{processed list}

%Specific macros (same specs as above)
\lenofdeflist(*){processed list, without \ !}[\macro]
\countvalindeflist(*){val}{processed list, without \ !}[\macro]
\meanofdeflist(*){processed list, without \ !}[\macro]
\sumofdeflist(*){processed list, without \ !}[\macro]
\prodofdeflist(*){processed list, without \ !}[\macro]
\getvaluefromdeflist(*){processed list, without \ !}{index}[\macro]
\getvaluefromcycldeflist(*){processed list, without \ !}{index}[\macro]
\end{DemoCode}

\begin{DemoCode}{}
%define a list, to be processed by listofitems
\definemylist{1,4,5,6,7,8,9,19,9,9,10}{\mydeflist}\showitems{\mydeflist}

%Specific macros
\lenofdeflist*{mydeflist}\\
\getvaluefromdeflist*{mydeflist}{5}\\
\getvaluefromcycldeflist*{mydeflist}{22}\\
\countvalindeflist*{9}{mydeflist}\\
\meanofdeflist*{mydeflist}\\
\sumofdeflist*{mydeflist}\\
\prodofdeflist*{mydeflist}
\end{DemoCode}

If the list needs to be "modified" (add, remove, reverse) the best is to use individual macros, and after use \textit{define} and specific macros :-)
