For the executive summary, HR requires aggregate statistics including total payroll, average salary, and the highest salary. You'll need to combine all salary values into single summary figures.

The Tablesaw library has been imported, and employees.csv contains the salary data.

        // Aggregate salaries for total payroll
        double totalPayroll = salaryCol.____(0.0, Double::____);
        
        // Compute average salary
        double avgSalary = totalPayroll / employees.____();
        
        // Find highest salary
        double maxSalary = salaryCol.reduce(0.0, Double::____);
        
        System.out.println("Department Summary Statistics:");
        System.out.println("=================================");
        System.out.println("Total Employees: " + employees.rowCount());
        System.out.println("Total Payroll: $" + totalPayroll);
        System.out.println("Average Salary: $" + avgSalary);
        System.out.println("Highest Salary: $" + maxSalary);
