binarySearch
Searches the specified array for the specified value using the binary search algorithm. The array must be sorted into
ascending order according to the natural ordering of its elements prior to making this call. If it is not sorted, the
results are undefined.
Returns the index of the searched value, if it is contained in the array; otherwise, -(insertion point) - 1. The
insertion point is defined as the point at which the searched value would be inserted into the array: the index of the
first element greater than the searched value, or array length if all elements in the array are less than the specified
key. Note that this guarantees that the return value will be ≥ 0 if and only if the searched value is found.
binarySearch([10, 20, 30, 40], 20);
binarySearch([10, 20, 30, 40], 25);
sort
Sorts the array in-place using an optional comparator and invokes a callback after a pair of elements was swapped.
sort(
arr,
(i, j) => {
},
(a, b) => 0,
);
sort
uses a non-recursive Quicksort algorithm. In contrast to
Array.sort
, sort
doesn't convert array elements to strings before comparison and uses comparison operators directly. So numeric arrays
are sorted in natural order with sort(arr)
. You can provide an element comparator to change the sorting order.
sort
is order of magnitude faster than Array.sort
on both small and big arrays. The plot below uses a log scale and
shows the dependency of number of operations per second from the input array length.
Interpolation
lerp
Creates a linear interpolator:
const f = lerp(xs, ys);
const y = f(x);
Here xs
is the array of X coordinates of pivot points in ascending order, and ys
is the array of corresponding Y
coordinates of pivot points.
cspline
Creates
a cubic spline interpolator
for given pivot points:
const f = cspline(xs, ys);
const y = f(x);
More control over spline caching and computation:
const splines = new Float32Array(xs.length * 3);
createCSplines(xs, ys, xs.length, splines);
const y = interpolateCSpline(xs, ys, x, xs.length, splines);
csplineMonot
Creates
a monotone cubic interpolator for given pivot points:
const f = csplineMonot(xs, ys);
const y = f(x);
Or using more fine-grained approach:
const y = interpolateCSplineMonot(xs, ys, x, xs.length, createCSplinesMonot(xs, ys, xs.length));
The plot below shows that cspline
interpolation overshoots pivot points while csplineMonot
provides monotonous
results.
