@stdlib/array-float32

What is @stdlib/array-float32?

@stdlib/array-float32 is a package that provides utilities for creating and manipulating Float32 arrays. It is part of the larger @stdlib library, which is a collection of standard libraries for JavaScript and Node.js.

What are @stdlib/array-float32's main functionalities?

Creating a Float32Array

This feature allows you to create a new Float32Array from an array of numbers.

const Float32Array = require('@stdlib/array-float32');
const arr = new Float32Array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]);
console.log(arr);

Accessing elements

This feature allows you to access elements in the Float32Array using index notation.

const Float32Array = require('@stdlib/array-float32');
const arr = new Float32Array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]);
console.log(arr[0]); // 1.0
console.log(arr[1]); // 2.0

Setting elements

This feature allows you to set elements in the Float32Array using index notation.

const Float32Array = require('@stdlib/array-float32');
const arr = new Float32Array(4);
arr[0] = 1.0;
arr[1] = 2.0;
arr[2] = 3.0;
arr[3] = 4.0;
console.log(arr);

Typed array methods

This feature allows you to use various typed array methods such as subarray to manipulate the Float32Array.

const Float32Array = require('@stdlib/array-float32');
const arr = new Float32Array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]);
const subarray = arr.subarray(1, 3);
console.log(subarray); // Float32Array [ 2.0, 3.0 ]

Other packages similar to @stdlib/array-float32

typedarray

The 'typedarray' package provides a polyfill for the JavaScript typed array API, which includes Float32Array. It is useful for environments that do not support typed arrays natively. Compared to @stdlib/array-float32, it is more focused on providing compatibility rather than additional utilities.

buffer

The 'buffer' package from Node.js provides a way to handle binary data directly. It includes support for creating and manipulating Float32Arrays. While it is more general-purpose and includes support for various binary data types, @stdlib/array-float32 is more specialized for Float32 arrays.

ndarray

The 'ndarray' package provides a multidimensional array implementation for JavaScript. It supports various data types, including Float32. Compared to @stdlib/array-float32, 'ndarray' is more focused on multidimensional arrays and scientific computing.

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!

Methods

Float32Array.from( src[, map[, thisArg]] )

Creates a new typed array from an array-like object or an iterable.

var arr = Float32Array.from( [ 1.0, 2.0 ] );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0 ]

To invoke a function for each src value, provide a callback function.

function mapFcn( v ) {
    return v * 2.0;
}

var arr = Float32Array.from( [ 1.0, 2.0 ], mapFcn );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 2.0, 4.0 ]

A callback function is provided two arguments:

• value: source value
• index: source index

To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.

function mapFcn( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return v * 2.0;
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var arr = Float32Array.from( [ 1.0, 2.0 ], mapFcn, ctx );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 2.0, 4.0 ]

var n = ctx.count;
// returns 2

Float32Array.of( element0[, element1[, ...elementN]] )

Creates a new typed array from a variable number of arguments.

var arr = Float32Array.of( 1.0, 2.0 );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0 ]

Float32Array.prototype.copyWithin( target, start[, end] )

Copies a sequence of elements within an array starting at start and ending at end (non-inclusive) to the position starting at target.

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );

// Copy the last two elements to the first two elements:
arr.copyWithin( 0, 3 );

var v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 4.0

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 5.0

By default, end equals the number of array elements (i.e., one more than the last array index). To limit the sequence length, provide an end argument.

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );

// Copy the first two elements to the last two elements:
arr.copyWithin( 3, 0, 2 );

var v = arr[ 3 ];
// returns 1.0

v = arr[ 4 ];
// returns 2.0

When a target, start, and/or end index is negative, the respective index is determined relative to the last array element. The following example achieves the same behavior as the previous example:

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );

// Copy the first two elements to the last two elements:
arr.copyWithin( -2, -5, -3 );

var v = arr[ 3 ];
// returns 1.0

v = arr[ 4 ];
// returns 2.0

Float32Array.prototype.entries()

Returns an iterator for iterating over array key-value pairs.

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0 ] );

// Create an iterator:
var it = arr.entries();

// Iterate over key-value pairs...
var v = it.next().value;
// returns [ 0, 1.0 ]

v = it.next().value;
// returns [ 1, 2.0 ]

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

Float32Array.prototype.every( predicate[, thisArg] )

Tests whether all array elements pass a test implemented by a predicate function.

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v <= 1.0 );
}

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0 ] );

var bool = arr.every( predicate );
// returns false

A predicate function is provided three arguments:

• value: array element
• index: array index
• arr: array on which the method is invoked

To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.

function predicate( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return ( v >= 1.0 );
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0 ] );

var bool = arr.every( predicate, ctx );
// returns true

var n = ctx.count;
// returns 2

Float32Array.prototype.fill( value[, start[, end]] )

Fills an array from a start index to an end index (non-inclusive) with a provided value.

var arr = new Float32Array( 2 );

// Set all array elements to the same value:
arr.fill( 2.0 );

var v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 2.0

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 2.0

// Set all array elements starting from the first index to the same value:
arr.fill( 3.0, 1 );

v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 2.0

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 3.0

// Set all array elements, except the last element, to the same value:
arr.fill( 4.0, 0, arr.length-1 );

v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 4.0

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 3.0

When a start and/or end index is negative, the respective index is determined relative to the last array element.

var arr = new Float32Array( 2 );

// Set all array elements, except the last element, to the same value:
arr.fill( 2.0, -arr.length, -1 );

var v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 2.0

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 0.0

Float32Array.prototype.filter( predicate[, thisArg] )

}

var arr1 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.filter( predicate );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 2.0, 3.0 ]

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v > 2.0 );
}

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );

var v = arr.find( predicate );
// returns 3.0

If a predicate function does not return a truthy value for any array element, the method returns undefined.

function predicate( v ) {
    return ( v < 1.0 );
}

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );

var v = arr.find( predicate );
// returns undefined

A predicate function is provided three arguments:

• value: array element
• index: array index
• arr: array on which the method is invoked

To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.

function predicate( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return ( v > 2.0 );
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

    if ( i < arr.length-1 ) {
        str += ' ';
    }
}

arr.forEach( fcn );

// returns 0.0

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 2.0

v = arr[ 2 ];
// returns 3.0

By default, the method sorts array elements in ascending order. To impose a custom order, provide a compareFunction.

function descending( a, b ) {
    return b - a;
}

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 3.0, 0.0 ] );

// Sort the array (in descending order):
arr.sort( descending );

var v = arr[ 0 ];
// returns 3.0

v = arr[ 1 ];
// returns 2.0

v = arr[ 2 ];
// returns 0.0

The comparison function is provided two array elements, a and b, per invocation, and its return value determines the sort order as follows:

• If the comparison function returns a value less than zero, then the method sorts a to an index lower than b (i.e., a should come before b).
• If the comparison function returns a value greater than zero, then the method sorts a to an index higher than b (i.e., b should come before a).
• If the comparison function returns zero, then the relative order of a and b should remain unchanged.

Float32Array.prototype.subarray( [begin[, end]] )

Creates a new typed array view over the same underlying ArrayBuffer and with the same underlying data type as the host array.

var arr1 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.subarray();
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ]

var bool = ( arr1.buffer === arr2.buffer );
// returns true

By default, the method creates a typed array view beginning with the first array element. To specify an alternative array index at which to begin, provide a begin index (inclusive).

var arr1 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.subarray( 1 );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 2.0, 3.0 ]

var bool = ( arr1.buffer === arr2.buffer );
// returns true

By default, the method creates a typed array view which includes all array elements after begin. To limit the number of array elements after begin, provide an end index (exclusive).

var arr1 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.subarray( 0, 2 );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0 ]

var bool = ( arr1.buffer === arr2.buffer );
// returns true

When a begin and/or end index is negative, the respective index is determined relative to the last array element.

var arr1 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.subarray( -arr1.length, -1 );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0 ]

var bool = ( arr1.buffer === arr2.buffer );
// returns true

If the method is unable to resolve indices to a non-empty array subsequence, the method returns an empty typed array.

var arr1 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );

var arr2 = arr1.subarray( 10, -1 );
// returns <Float32Array>[]

Float32Array.prototype.toLocaleString( [locales[, options]] )

Serializes an array as a locale-specific string.

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );

var str = arr.toLocaleString();
// returns '1,2,3'

Float32Array.prototype.toString()

Serializes an array as a string.

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ] );

var str = arr.toString();
// returns '1,2,3'

Float32Array.prototype.values()

Returns an iterator for iterating over array elements.

var arr = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0 ] );

// Create an iterator:
var it = arr.values();

// Iterate over array elements...
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 1.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 2.0

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var ctor = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var arr;
var i;

arr = new ctor( 10 );
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
    arr[ i ] = randu() * 100.0;
}
console.log( arr );
