| 3 | +Aggregations operations process data records and return computed results. Aggregation operations group values from multiple documents together, and can perform a variety of operations on the grouped data to return a single result. MongoDB provides three ways to perform aggregation: the aggregation pipeline, the map-reduce function, and single purpose aggregation methods. |

| 9 | +[documenation about single purpose aggregation](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/aggregation/#single-purpose-agg-operations) |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +There are two functions you can use: |
| 12 | +1. [db.collection.count()](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/db.collection.count/#db.collection.count) |
| 13 | +1. db.collection.distinct() |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +### examples - count() |
| 16 | +``` |
| 17 | +db.oscars.count() |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +The above is equivalent to |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +``` |
| 23 | +db.oscars.find().count() |
| 24 | +``` |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | +db.customers.find({role:"citizen"}).count() |
| 28 | +``` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +``` |
| 31 | +db.customers.find({$or: [{name:"Bond"}, {age:{$gt:32}}]}).count() |
| 32 | +``` |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### examples - distinct() - setup |
| 35 | +``` |
| 36 | +db.inventory.insert([ |
| 37 | +{ "_id": 1, "dept": "A", "item": { "sku": "111", "color": "red" }, "sizes": [ "S", "M" ] }, |
| 38 | +{ "_id": 2, "dept": "A", "item": { "sku": "111", "color": "blue" }, "sizes": [ "M", "L" ] }, |
| 39 | +{ "_id": 3, "dept": "B", "item": { "sku": "222", "color": "blue" }, "sizes": "S" }, |
| 40 | +{ "_id": 4, "dept": "A", "item": { "sku": "333", "color": "black" }, "sizes": [ "S" ] } |
| 41 | +]) |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### examples - distinct() |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +syntax |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | +db.collection.distinct(field, query, options) |
| 49 | +``` |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +| Parameter | Description | |
| 53 | +| --- | --- | |
| 54 | +| field | The field for which to return distinct values. |
| 55 | +| query | A query that specifies the documents from which to retrieve the distinct values. |
| 56 | +| options | Optional. A document that specifies the options. See Options. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +``` |
| 59 | +db.inventory.distinct( "dept" ) |
| 60 | +``` |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +embedded field: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +``` |
| 65 | +db.inventory.distinct( "item.sku" ) |
| 66 | +``` |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +``` |
| 69 | +db.inventory.distinct( "sizes" ) |
| 70 | +``` |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +You use different **expressions** (listed below) in aggregate group operations. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +``` |
| 78 | +db.<collection name>.aggregate([{<match, sort, geoNear>},{<group>}]) |
