Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

binaryFactory

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Create a factory function for generating pseudorandom values drawn from a binary PRNG.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/random-array-tools-binary-factory

Usage

var binaryFactory = require( '@stdlib/random-array-tools-binary-factory' );

binaryFactory( prng, dtypes, dtype )

Returns a factory function for generating pseudorandom values drawn from a binary PRNG.

var arcsine = require( '@stdlib/random-base-arcsine' );

var dtypes = [ 'float64', 'float32', 'generic' ];

var factory = binaryFactory( arcsine, dtypes, 'float64' );
// returns <Function>

The function has the following parameters:

  • prng: binary pseudorandom number generator.
  • dtypes: list of supported output data types.
  • dtype: default output array data type.

factory( [param1, param2, ][options] )

Returns a function for generating pseudorandom values drawn from a binary PRNG.

var arcsine = require( '@stdlib/random-base-arcsine' );

var dtypes = [ 'float64', 'float32', 'generic' ];

var factory = binaryFactory( arcsine, dtypes, dtypes[ 0 ] );
// returns <Function>

var random = factory();
// returns <Function>

The function has the following parameters:

  • param1: first PRNG parameter.
  • param2: second PRNG parameter.
  • options: function options.

The function supports the following options:

  • prng: pseudorandom number generator which generates uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers.
  • seed: pseudorandom value generator seed.
  • state: pseudorandom value generator state.
  • copy: boolean indicating whether to copy a provided pseudorandom value generator state.
  • dtype: default output array data type. Setting this option overrides the default output array data type provided to the parent function.

If provided PRNG parameters, the function returns a partially applied function for creating arrays, which can be useful when wanting to pass around a parameterized function for array creation.


Full Arity

random( len, param1, param2[, options] )

Returns an array of pseudorandom values drawn from a binary PRNG.

var arcsine = require( '@stdlib/random-base-arcsine' );

var dtypes = [ 'float64', 'float32', 'generic' ];

var factory = binaryFactory( arcsine, dtypes, dtypes[ 0 ] );
// returns <Function>

var random = factory();
// returns <Function>

var v = random( 10, 2.0, 5.0 );
// returns <Float64Array>

The function has the following parameters:

  • len: output array length.
  • param1: first PRNG parameter.
  • param2: second PRNG parameter.
  • options: function options.

The function accepts the following options:

  • dtype: output array data type. Setting this option overrides the default output array data type.
var arcsine = require( '@stdlib/random-base-arcsine' );

var dtypes = [ 'float64', 'float32', 'generic' ];

var factory = binaryFactory( arcsine, dtypes, dtypes[ 0 ] );
// returns <Function>

var random = factory();
// returns <Function>

var v = random( 10, 2.0, 5.0, {
    'dtype': 'float32'
});
// returns <Float32Array>

random.assign( param1, param2, out )

Fills an array with pseudorandom values drawn from a binary PRNG.

var arcsine = require( '@stdlib/random-base-arcsine' );
var zeros = require( '@stdlib/array-zeros' );

var dtypes = [ 'float64', 'float32', 'generic' ];

var factory = binaryFactory( arcsine, dtypes, dtypes[ 0 ] );
// returns <Function>

var random = factory();
// returns <Function>

var out = zeros( 10, 'float64' );
// returns <Float64Array>

var v = random.assign( 2.0, 5.0, out );
// returns <Float64Array>

var bool = ( out === v );
// returns true

The method has the following parameters:

  • param1: first PRNG parameter.
  • param2: second PRNG parameter.
  • out: output array.
