Filled Array
Create a filled array.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/array-filled
Usage
var filledarray = require( '@stdlib/array-filled' );
filledarray( [dtype] )
Creates a filled array having a specified data type dtype
.
var arr = filledarray();
// returns <Float64Array>
The function recognizes the following data types:
float64
: double-precision floating-point numbers (IEEE 754)float32
: single-precision floating-point numbers (IEEE 754)complex128
: double-precision complex floating-point numberscomplex64
: single-precision complex floating-point numbersint32
: 32-bit two's complement signed integersuint32
: 32-bit unsigned integersint16
: 16-bit two's complement signed integersuint16
: 16-bit unsigned integersint8
: 8-bit two's complement signed integersuint8
: 8-bit unsigned integersuint8c
: 8-bit unsigned integers clamped to0-255
generic
: generic JavaScript values
By default, the output array data type is float64
(i.e., a typed array). To specify an alternative data type, provide a dtype
argument.
var arr = filledarray( 'int32' );
// returns <Int32Array>
filledarray( value, length[, dtype] )
Returns a filled array having a specified length
.
var arr1 = filledarray( 1.0, 5 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
var arr2 = filledarray( 1, 5, 'uint8' );
// returns <Uint8Array>[ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 ]
filledarray( value, array[, dtype] )
Creates a filled array from another array (or array-like object).
var arr0 = {
'0': 0.5,
'1': 0.5,
'2': 0.5,
'length': 3
};
var arr1 = filledarray( 1.0, arr0 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
var arr2 = filledarray( 2.0, arr1 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 2.0, 2.0, 2.0 ]
var arr3 = filledarray( 3, arr1, 'int32' );
// returns <Int32Array>[ 3, 3, 3 ]
filledarray( value, iterable[, dtype] )
Creates a filled array from an iterable.
var iterConstant = require( '@stdlib/iter-constant' );
var it = iterConstant( 3.0, {
'iter': 3
});
var arr1 = filledarray( 1.0, it );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
var arr2 = filledarray( 1.0, it, 'float32' );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
filledarray( value, buffer[, byteOffset[, length]][, dtype] )
Returns a filled typed array view of an ArrayBuffer
.
var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array-buffer' );
var buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
var arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 'float32' );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 16 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0 ]
buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 16, 'float32' );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 16, 1 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0 ]
buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
arr = filledarray( 1, buf, 10, 4, 'int16' );
// returns <Int16Array>[ 1, 1, 1, 1 ]
Notes
- Creating a generic array from an
ArrayBuffer
is not supported.
Examples
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' );
var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/array-typed-real-dtypes' );
var filledarray = require( '@stdlib/array-filled' );
// Generate a random number:
var r = discreteUniform( 0, 100 );
// Get a list of array data types:
var dt = dtypes();
// Generate filled arrays...
var arr;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < dt.length; i++ ) {
arr = filledarray( r, 10, dt[ i ] );
console.log( arr );
}
