arrayWith

Return a new array with the element at the specified index replaced with a provided value.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/array-base-with

Usage

var arrayWith = require( '@stdlib/array-base-with' );

arrayWith( x, index, value )

Returns a new array with the element at the specified index replaced with a provided value.

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

var out = arrayWith( x, 0, 5 );
// returns [ 5, 2, 3, 4 ]

out = arrayWith( x, -1, 6 );
// returns [ 1, 2, 3, 6 ]

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: an input array.
• index: element index.
• value: replacement value.

Notes

• If provided an array-like object having a with method, the function defers execution to that method and assumes that the method has the following signature:

  x.with( index, value )

  If provided an array-like object without a with method, the function shallow copies input array data to a new generic array, normalizes a provided index, and sets a specified element.

• Negative indices are resolved relative to the last array element, with the last element corresponding to -1.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var arrayWith = require( '@stdlib/array-base-with' );

// Define an array:
var opts = {
    'dtype': 'generic'
};
var x = discreteUniform( 5, -100, 100, opts );

// Define an array containing random index values:
var indices = discreteUniform( 100, -x.length, x.length-1, opts );

// Define an array with random values to set:
var values = discreteUniform( indices.length, -10000, 10000, opts );

// Randomly set elements in the input array:
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < indices.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( 'x = [%s]', arrayWith( x, indices[ i ], values[ i ] ).join( ',' ) );
}
