dcopy

Copy values from x into y.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/blas-base-dcopy

Usage

var dcopy = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-dcopy' );

dcopy( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Copies values from x into y.

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

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 ] );

dcopy( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]

The function has the following parameters:

• N: number of indexed elements.
• x: input Float64Array.
• strideX: index increment for x.
• y: output Float64Array.
• strideY: index increment for y.

The N and stride parameters determine how values from x are copied into y. For example, to copy in reverse order every other value in x into the first N elements of y,

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

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

dcopy( 3, x, -2, y, 1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 5.0, 3.0, 1.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ]

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

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

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

// Copy in reverse order every other value from `x1` into `y1`...
dcopy( 3, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// y0 => <Float64Array>[ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]

dcopy.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Copies values from x into y using alternative indexing semantics.

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

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 ] );

dcopy.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]

The function has the following additional parameters:

• offsetX: starting index for x.
• offsetY: starting index for y.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to copy every other value in x starting from the second value into the last N elements in y where x[i] = y[n], x[i+2] = y[n-1],...,

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

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

dcopy.ndarray( 3, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]

Notes

• If N <= 0, both functions return y unchanged.
• dcopy() corresponds to the BLAS level 1 function dcopy.

Examples

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

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'float64'
};
var x = discreteUniform( 10, 0, 500, opts );
console.log( x );

var y = discreteUniform( x.length, 0, 255, opts );
console.log( y );

// Copy elements from `x` into `y` starting from the end of `y`:
dcopy( x.length, x, 1, y, -1 );
console.log( y );

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/blas/base/dcopy.h"

c_dcopy( N, *X, strideX, *Y, strideY )

Copies values from X into Y.

const double x[] = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 };
double y[] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 };

c_dcopy( 4, x, 1, y, 1 );

The function accepts the following arguments:

• N: [in] CBLAS_INT number of indexed elements.
• X: [in] double* input array.
• strideX: [in] CBLAS_INT index increment for X.
• Y: [out] double* output array.
• strideY: [in] CBLAS_INT index increment for Y.

void c_dcopy( const CBLAS_INT N, const double *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX, double *Y, const CBLAS_INT strideY );

Examples

#include "stdlib/blas/base/dcopy.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    // Create strided arrays:
    const double x[] = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 };
    double y[] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 };

    // Specify the number of elements:
    const int N = 4;

    // Specify stride lengths:
    const int strideX = 2;
    const int strideY = -2;

    // Copy elements:
    c_dcopy( N, x, strideX, y, strideY );

    // Print the result:
    for ( int i = 0; i < 8; i++ ) {
        printf( "y[ %i ] = %lf\n", i, y[ i ] );
    }
}
