  * @function mean
  * @description This script will find the mean value of a array of numbers.
- * @param {Integer[]} nums - Array of integer
- * @return {Integer} - mean of nums.
+ * @param {number[]} numbers - Array of integer
+ * @return {number} - mean of numbers.
+ * @throws {TypeError} If the input is not an array or contains non-number elements.
+ * @throws {Error} If the input array is empty.
  * @see [Mean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean)
  * @example mean([1, 2, 4, 5]) = 3
  * @example mean([10, 40, 100, 20]) = 42.5
