## Scalar Functions
-(to be filled soon)
+
+Scalar functions are functions that return a single value per row, as opposed
to aggregation functions, which return a value for a group of rows. Spark SQL
supports a variety of built-in scalar functions such as [Array
Functions](sql-ref-functions-builtin.html#array-functions), [Map
Functions](sql-ref-functions-builtin.html#map-functions), [Date and Timestamp
Functions](sql-ref-functions-builtin.html#date-and-timestamp-functions), etc.
It also supports [User Defined Scalar
Functions](sql-ref-functions-udf-scalar.html).
Review comment:
OK... Seems Window functions still should be put in the Scalar function
category. I will double check tomorrow.
