I don't get a sentence. "The A operation can be combined ...
Hello.

My name is Woonghee Lee.

My major is the computer science and engineering. I changed it from the industrial and management engineering when I got into gradschool.

I was reading a paper to present at a seminar in my lab.

But I didn't get a sentence. That is

"The A operation can be combined with other operations in certain cases (e.g., join), resulting in little additional cost to compute the A."

It is related with the database.

I am confuesed to get the sentence after ", resulting".

I thought it meant "If the A operation is combined with other operations, it causes little addtional cost to compute the A".

I would like to know if I am right.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Answer

Yes you are right - that is exactly what it means - the result or outcome of combining A with other operations is that there is very little additional cost to compute the A.  Here is another example:
Both aircraft were off track, resulting in a mid-air collision.
