iterFill
Create an iterator which replaces all values from a provided iterator from a start index to an end index with a static value.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/iter-fill
Usage
var iterFill = require( '@stdlib/iter-fill' );
iterFill( iterator, value[, begin[, end]] )
Returns an iterator which replaces all values from a provided iterator
from a begin
index to an end
index with a static value
.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterFill( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), 3.14 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
// ...
The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:
- next: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a
value
property and adone
property having aboolean
value indicating whether the iterator is finished. - return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.
By default, the returned iterator replaces/fills a provided iterator's first iterated value through an iterator's last iterated value. To specify an alternative start iteration index at which to begin filling (zero-based and inclusive), provide a begin
argument.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterFill( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), 3.14, 2 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 1
v = it.next().value;
// returns 2
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
By default, the returned iterator continues filling until it replaces all of a provided iterator's iterated values. To specify an end iteration index at which to stop filling (zero-based and non-inclusive), provide an end
argument.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterFill( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), 3.14, 1, 3 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 1
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
v = it.next().value;
// returns 4
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
If begin
is greater than or equal to end
, the returned iterator does not replace any iterated values.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterFill( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), 3.14, 3, 1 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 1
v = it.next().value;
// returns 2
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3
v = it.next().value;
// returns 4
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
Notes
- If
end
exceeds the length of the providediterator
, the returned iterator replaces the subsequence of iterated values starting frombegin
until the last iterated value of the providediterator
. - If an environment supports
Symbol.iterator
and a provided iterator is iterable, the returned iterator is iterable.
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-iter-randu' );
var iterFill = require( '@stdlib/iter-fill' );
// Create a seeded iterator for generating pseudorandom numbers:
var rand = randu({
'seed': 1234,
'iter': 100
});
// Create an iterator which replaces a subsequence of 10 generated numbers:
var it = iterFill( rand, 3.14, 10, 20 );
// Perform manual iteration...
var r;
while ( true ) {
r = it.next();
if ( r.done ) {
break;
}
console.log( r.value );
}
