mulBy

Element-wise multiplication of two strided arrays via a callback function.

Usage

var mulBy = require( '@stdlib/math/strided/ops/mul-by' );

mulBy( N, x, strideX, y, strideY, z, strideZ, clbk[, thisArg] )

Performs element-wise multiplication of two strided arrays via a callback function and assigns each result to an element in an output strided array.

function accessor( values ) {
    return values;
}

var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];
var y = [ 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0 ];
var z = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

mulBy( x.length, x, 1, y, 1, z, 1, accessor );
// z => [ 11.0, 24.0, 39.0, 56.0, 75.0 ]

The function accepts the following arguments:

N: number of indexed elements.
x: input Array, typed array, or an array-like object (excluding strings and functions).
strideX: index increment for x.
y: input Array, typed array, or an array-like object (excluding strings and functions).
strideY: index increment for y.
z: output Array, typed array, or an array-like object (excluding strings and functions).
strideZ: index increment for z.
clbk: callback function.
thisArg: execution context (optional).

The invoked callback function is provided four arguments:

values: input array element values [vx, vy].
idx: iteration index (zero-based).
indices: input and output array strided indices [ix, iy, iz] (computed according to offset + idx*stride).
arrays: input and output arrays/collections [x, y, z].

To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.

function accessor( values ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return values;
}

var context = {
    'count': 0
};

var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];
var y = [ 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0 ];
var z = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

mulBy( x.length, x, 1, y, 1, z, 1, accessor, context );
// z => [ 11.0, 24.0, 39.0, 56.0, 75.0 ]

var cnt = context.count;
// returns 5

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided arrays are accessed at runtime. For example, to index every other value in x and to index the first N elements of y in reverse order,

function accessor( values ) {
    return values;
}

var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
var y = [ 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0 ];
var z = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

mulBy( 3, x, 2, y, -1, z, 1, accessor );
// z => [ 13.0, 36.0, 55.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]

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

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

function accessor( values ) {
    return values;
}

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0 ] );
var z0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element
var z1 = new Float64Array( z0.buffer, z0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

mulBy( 3, x1, -2, y1, 1, z1, 1, accessor );
// z0 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 84.0, 60.0, 32.0 ]

mulBy.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY, z, strideZ, offsetZ, clbk[, thisArg] )

Performs element-wise multiplication of two strided arrays via a callback function and assigns each result to an element in an output strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

function accessor( values ) {
    return values;
}

var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];
var y = [ 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0 ];
var z = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

mulBy.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0, z, 1, 0, accessor );
// z => [ 11.0, 24.0, 39.0, 56.0, 75.0 ]

The function accepts the following additional arguments:

offsetX: starting index for x.
offsetY: starting index for y.
offsetZ: starting index for z.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to index every other value in x starting from the second value and to index the last N elements in y,

function accessor( values ) {
    return values;
}

var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
var y = [ 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0 ];
var z = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

mulBy.ndarray( 3, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1, z, 1, 2, accessor );
// z => [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 84.0, 60.0, 32.0 ]

Notes

If a provided callback function does not return any value (or equivalently, explicitly returns undefined), the value is ignored.

function accessor() {
    // No-op...
}

var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];
var y = [ 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0 ];
var z = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];

mulBy( x.length, x, 1, y, 1, z, 1, accessor );
// z => [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]

Examples

var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/uniform' ).factory;
var filledarray = require( '@stdlib/array/filled' );
var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array/filled-by' );
var mulBy = require( '@stdlib/math/strided/ops/mul-by' );

function accessor( values, i ) {
    if ( (i%3) === 0 ) {
        // Simulate a "missing" value...
        return;
    }
    return values;
}

var x = filledarrayBy( 10, 'generic', uniform( -10.0, 10.0 ) );
console.log( x );

var y = filledarrayBy( x.length, 'generic', uniform( -10.0, 10.0 ) );
console.log( y );

var z = filledarray( null, x.length, 'generic' );
console.log( z );

mulBy.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, -1, y.length-1, z, 1, 0, accessor );
console.log( z );
