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!

dapx

Add a constant to each element in a double-precision floating-point strided array.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/blas-ext-base-dapx

Usage

var dapx = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-dapx' );

dapx( N, alpha, x, stride )

Adds a constant alpha to each element in a double-precision floating-point strided array.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] );

dapx( x.length, 5.0, x, 1 );
// x => <Float64Array>[ 3.0, 6.0, 8.0, 0.0, 9.0, 5.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]

The function has the following parameters:

• N: number of indexed elements.
• alpha: scalar constant.
• x: input Float64Array.
• stride: index increment.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to add a constant to every other element

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] );

dapx( 4, 5.0, x, 2 );
// x => <Float64Array>[ 3.0, 1.0, 8.0, -5.0, 9.0, 0.0, 4.0, -3.0 ]

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

// Initial array...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] );

// Create an offset view...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

// Add a constant to every other element...
dapx( 3, 5.0, x1, 2 );
// x0 => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 3.0, 3.0, 1.0, 5.0, -1.0 ]

dapx.ndarray( N, alpha, x, stride, offset )

Adds a constant alpha to each element in a double-precision floating-point strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] );

dapx.ndarray( x.length, 5.0, x, 1, 0 );
// x => <Float64Array>[ 3.0, 6.0, 8.0, 0.0, 9.0, 5.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]

The function has the following additional parameters:

• offset: starting index.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to access only the last three elements of the strided array

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] );

dapx.ndarray( 3, 5.0, x, 1, x.length-3 );
// x => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, 1.0, 10.0, -1.0 ]

Notes

• If N <= 0, both functions return the strided array unchanged.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' ).factory;
var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array-filled-by' );
var dapx = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-dapx' );

var x = filledarrayBy( 10, 'float64', discreteUniform( -100, 100 ) );
console.log( x );

dapx( x.length, 5.0, x, 1 );
console.log( x );
