Arrays

Usage

var ns = require( '@stdlib/array' );

ns

Arrays.

var o = ns;
// returns {...}

The namespace exports the following array constructors:

var arr = new ns.Int32Array( 5 );
// returns <Int32Array>[ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]

Alternatively, use the typedarray function to create a typed array of a given data type:

var arr1 = ns.typedarray( 5 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]

var arr2 = ns.typedarray( 5, 'uint8' );
// returns <Uint8Array>[ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]

The namespace contains functions to create arrays pre-filled with spaced values:

You can use the following functions to retrieve a list of available data types:

Furthermore, the namespace contains utility functions to retrieve a given constructor:

var ctor = ns.typedarrayCtors( 'float64' );
// returns <Function>

ctor = ns.typedarrayCtors( 'int' );
// returns null

Lastly, the namespace contains various other functions for dealing with arrays, including functions to convert arrays from one data type to another or to serialize them as JSON and vice versa.
