numel

Return the number of elements in an ndarray.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-numel

Usage

var numel = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-numel' );

numel( x )

Returns the number of elements in an ndarray.

var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros' );

var x = zeros( [ 3, 2, 3 ] );
// returns <ndarray>

var n = numel( x );
// returns 18

Examples

var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros' );
var slice = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-slice' );
var E = require( '@stdlib/slice-multi' );
var S = require( '@stdlib/slice-ctor' );
var numel = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-numel' );

// Create an array:
var x = zeros( [ 10, 10, 10, 10 ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Define some slices:
var slices = [
    // :,:,:,:
    E( null, null, null, null ),

    // 5:10,:,2:4,::-1
    E( S( 5, 10 ), null, S( 2, 4 ), S( null, null, -1 ) ),

    // :,:,2,:
    E( null, null, 2, null ),

    // 1,2,3,4
    E( 1, 2, 3, 4 ),

    // :,:,::2,4::2
    E( null, null, S( null, null, 2 ), S( 4, null, 2 ) )
];

// Determine the number of elements in each slice...
var s;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < slices.length; i++ ) {
    s = slice( x, slices[ i ] );
    console.log( '%s => %d elements', s.shape.join( 'x' ), numel( s ) );
}
