sliceAssign

Assign element values from a broadcasted input array to corresponding elements in an output array.

Usage

var sliceAssign = require( '@stdlib/array/base/fancy-slice-assign' );

slice( x, y, s, strict )

Assigns element values from a broadcasted input array to corresponding elements in an output array.

var Slice = require( '@stdlib/slice/ctor' );

var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
var y = [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ];

var s = new Slice( null, null, -2 );
// returns <Slice>

var out = sliceAssign( x, y, s, false );
// returns [ 0, 4, 0, 3, 0, 2, 0, 1 ]

var bool = ( out === y );
// returns true

The function supports the following parameters:

x: input array.
y: output array.
s: slice object specifying the output array slice.
strict: boolean indicating whether to enforce strict bounds checking.

Notes

The input array must be broadcast compatible with the output array slice (i.e., contain only one element or the same number of elements as in the slice).
The input array must have a data type which can be safely cast to the output array data type. Floating-point data types (both real and complex) are allowed to downcast to a lower precision data type of the same kind (e.g., element values from a 'float64' input array can be assigned to corresponding elements in a 'float32' output array).

Examples

var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/array/zero-to' );
var zeros = require( '@stdlib/array/zeros' );
var Slice = require( '@stdlib/slice/ctor' );
var sliceAssign = require( '@stdlib/array/base/fancy-slice-assign' );

var x = zeroTo( 10, 'generic' );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ]

var y = zeros( 10, 'generic' );
// returns [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]

var s = new Slice();
var out = sliceAssign( x, y, s, false );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ]

x = zeroTo( 5, 'generic' );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

y = zeros( 10, 'generic' );
s = new Slice( null, null, -2 );
out = sliceAssign( x, y, s, false );
// returns [ 0, 4, 0, 3, 0, 2, 0, 1, 0, 0 ]

x = zeroTo( 5, 'generic' );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

y = zeros( 10, 'generic' );
s = new Slice( -2, null, -2 );
out = sliceAssign( x, y, s, false );
// returns [ 4, 0, 3, 0, 2, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0 ]

x = zeroTo( 6, 'generic' );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]

y = zeros( 10, 'generic' );
s = new Slice( 2, -2 );
out = sliceAssign( x, y, s, false );
// returns [ 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 0 ]

x = zeroTo( 3, 'generic' );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2 ]

y = zeros( 10, 'generic' );
s = new Slice( 2, 5 );
out = sliceAssign( x, y, s, false );
// returns [ 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]

x = zeroTo( 3, 'generic' );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2 ]

y = zeros( 10, 'generic' );
s = new Slice( 4, 1, -1 );
out = sliceAssign( x, y, s, false );
// returns [ 0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]

x = zeroTo( 5, 'generic' );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

y = zeros( 10, 'generic' );
s = new Slice( 5 );
out = sliceAssign( x, y, s, false );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]

x = zeroTo( 5, 'generic' );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

y = zeros( 10, 'generic' );
s = new Slice( 5, null );
out = sliceAssign( x, y, s, false );
// returns [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
