flatten4dBy

Flatten a four-dimensional nested array according to a callback function.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/array-base-flatten4d-by

Usage

var flatten4dBy = require( '@stdlib/array-base-flatten4d-by' );

flatten4dBy( x, shape, colexicographic, clbk[, thisArg] )

Flattens a four-dimensional nested array according to a callback function.

function scale( v ) {
    return v * 2;
}

var x = [ [ [ [ 1, 2 ] ] ], [ [ [ 3, 4 ] ] ] ];

var out = flatten4dBy( x, [ 2, 1, 1, 2 ], false, scale );
// returns [ 2, 4, 6, 8 ]

To flatten in colexicographic order, provide a third argument equal to true.

function scale( v ) {
    return v * 2;
}

var x = [ [ [ [ 1, 2 ] ] ], [ [ [ 3, 4 ] ] ] ];

var out = flatten4dBy( x, [ 2, 1, 1, 2 ], true, scale );
// returns [ 2, 6, 4, 8 ]

To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg argument.

function scale( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return v * 2;
}

var x = [ [ [ [ 1, 2 ] ] ], [ [ [ 3, 4 ] ] ] ];
var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var out = flatten4dBy( x, [ 2, 1, 1, 2 ], false, scale, ctx );
// returns [ 2, 4, 6, 8 ]

var count = ctx.count;
// returns 4

flatten4dBy.assign( x, shape, colexicographic, out, stride, offset, clbk[, thisArg] )

Flattens a four-dimensional nested array according to a callback function and assigns elements to a provided output array.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

function scale( v ) {
    return v * 2;
}

var x = [ [ [ [ 1, 2 ] ] ], [ [ [ 3, 4 ] ] ] ];
var out = new Float64Array( 4 );

var y = flatten4dBy.assign( x, [ 2, 1, 1, 2 ], false, out, 1, 0, scale );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 2, 4, 6, 8 ]

var bool = ( y === out );
// returns true

y = flatten4dBy.assign( x, [ 2, 1, 1, 2 ], true, out, 1, 0, scale );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 2, 6, 4, 8 ]

Notes

• A callback function is provided the following arguments:

  • value: nested array element.
  • indices: element indices (in lexicographic order).
  • arr: the input array.

• Both functions assume that all nested arrays have the same length (i.e., the input array is not a ragged array).

Examples

var naryFunction = require( '@stdlib/utils-nary-function' );
var abs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-abs' );
var flatten4dBy = require( '@stdlib/array-base-flatten4d-by' );

var fcn = naryFunction( abs, 1 );

// Define a 2x2x2x2 array:
var x = [
    [
        [ [ -1, -2 ], [ -3, -4 ] ],
        [ [ -5, -6 ], [ -7, -8 ] ]
    ],
    [
        [ [ -9, -10 ], [ -11, -12 ] ],
        [ [ -13, -14 ], [ -15, -16 ] ]
    ]
];

var out = flatten4dBy( x, [ 0, 0, 0, 0 ], false, fcn );
// returns []

out = flatten4dBy( x, [ 0, 0, 0, 0 ], true, fcn );
// returns []

out = flatten4dBy( x, [ 1, 1, 1, 1 ], false, fcn );
// returns [ 1 ]

out = flatten4dBy( x, [ 1, 1, 1, 1 ], true, fcn );
// returns [ 1 ]

out = flatten4dBy( x, [ 1, 2, 2, 2 ], false, fcn );
// returns [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ]

out = flatten4dBy( x, [ 1, 2, 2, 2 ], true, fcn );
// returns [ 1, 5, 3, 7, 2, 6, 4, 8 ]

out = flatten4dBy( x, [ 2, 2, 2, 2 ], false, fcn );
// returns [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 ]

out = flatten4dBy( x, [ 2, 2, 2, 2 ], true, fcn );
// returns [ 1, 9, 5, 13, 3, 11, 7, 15, 2, 10, 6, 14, 4, 12, 8, 16 ]
