@stdlib/array-base-accessor-setter

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

accessorSetter

Return an accessor function for setting an element in an array-like object supporting the get/set protocol.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/array-base-accessor-setter

Usage

var accessorSetter = require( '@stdlib/array-base-accessor-setter' );

accessorSetter( dtype )

Returns an accessor function for setting an element in an array-like object supporting the get/set protocol.

var Complex64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex64' );
var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-ctor' );
var realf = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-real' );
var imagf = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-imag' );

var arr = new Complex64Array( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );

var set = accessorSetter( 'complex64' );
set( arr, 1, new Complex64( 10.0, 11.0 ) );

var v = arr.get( 1 );
// returns <Complex64>

var re = realf( v );
// returns 10.0

var im = imagf( v );
// returns 11.0

The returned accessor function accepts the following arguments:

• arr: input array.
• idx: element index.
• value: value to set.

Notes

• If provided an unsupported dtype, the function returns a default accessor function for accessing elements from any indexed array-like object supporting the get/set protocol; otherwise, the function returns an accessor function which should only be provided an array instance corresponding to dtype (e.g., if dtype is 'complex64', the returned accessor function should only be provided instances of Complex64Array).
• Accessor functions do not verify that provided input arrays are array instances corresponding to dtype, as doing so would introduce performance overhead. If array instances corresponding to other data types are provided to an accessor function, JavaScript runtimes will consider the function polymorphic, potentially triggering de-optimization. In order to ensure maximum performance, always ensure that an accessor function is monomorphic.
• Accessor functions do not perform bounds checking.
• Accessor functions do not validate input values.
• Accessor functions do not verify that provided input arrays actually implement the get/set protocol.
• An array-like object supporting the get/set protocol is a data structure in which one accesses elements using explicit get and set methods (e.g., Complex64Array and Complex128Array).

Examples

var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );
var Complex64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex64' );
var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float64-ctor' );
var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-ctor' );
var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/array-base-zero-to' );
var dtype = require( '@stdlib/array-dtype' );
var accessorSetter = require( '@stdlib/array-base-accessor-setter' );

var arr = new Complex128Array( zeroTo( 10 ) );
accessorSetter( dtype( arr ) )( arr, 2, new Complex128( 100.0, 101.0 ) );

var v = arr.get( 2 );
// returns <Complex128>

console.log( '%s', v.toString() );
// => '100 + 101i'

arr = new Complex64Array( zeroTo( 10 ) );
accessorSetter( dtype( arr ) )( arr, 4, new Complex64( 102.0, 103.0 ) );

v = arr.get( 4 );
// returns <Complex64>

console.log( '%s', v.toString() );
// => '102 + 103i'
