Remarks

This method is called to start calculation of a summary for a particular set of data (associated with the records parameter). Typically you initialize any member variables in this method. For example, for a calculator that performs summation, you would initialize the sum member variable to 0. In Aggregate, you would add each value to the sum. In EndCalculation, you would return the result of the calculation.

Note that summaryResult parameter is for extra context only and typically it's not necessary to use it or take it into account for calculation purposes.
