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!
Replace specified elements of an array with provided values.
npm install @stdlib/array-put
Alternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a
script
tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesm
branch (see README). - If you are using Deno, visit the
deno
branch (see README for usage intructions). - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umd
branch (see README).
The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.
To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.
var put = require( '@stdlib/array-put' );
Replaces specified elements of an array with provided values.
var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
var out = put( x, [ 1, 3 ], [ 20, 40 ] );
// returns [ 1, 20, 3, 40 ]
var bool = ( out === x );
// returns true
The function supports the following parameters:
- x: input array.
- indices: list of indices.
- values: values to set. When
indices
contains one or more elements,values
must be broadcast compatible withindices
(i.e., must have either one element or the same number of elements asindices
). - options: function options.
The function supports the following options:
- mode: index mode. Default:
'normalize'
.
If indices
is an empty array, the function returns the input array unchanged.
var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
var out = put( x, [], [ 20, 40 ] );
// returns [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
The function supports broadcasting a values
array containing a single element against an indices
array containing one or more elements.
var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
var out = put( x, [ 1, 3 ], [ 20 ] );
// returns [ 1, 20, 3, 20 ]
By default, the function normalizes negative integer indices to positive integer index equivalents.
var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
var out = put( x, [ -3, -1 ], [ 20, 40 ] );
// returns [ 1, 20, 3, 40 ]
To specify an alternative index mode, provide a mode
option.
var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
var out = put( x, [ -10, 10 ], [ 20, 40 ], {
'mode': 'clamp'
});
// returns [ 20, 2, 3, 40 ]
- The function mutates the input array
x
. - Because each index is only validated at the time of replacing a particular element, mutation may occur even when one or more indices are out-of-bounds, including when the index mode indicates to raise an exception.
- The
values
array must have a data type which can be safely cast to the input 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'
values array can be assigned to corresponding elements in a'float32'
input array).
var filledBy = require( '@stdlib/array-base-filled-by' );
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' );
var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-linspace' );
var put = require( '@stdlib/array-put' );
// Generate a linearly spaced array:
var x = linspace( 0, 100, 11 );
console.log( x );
// Generate an array of random indices:
var N = discreteUniform( 5, 15 );
var indices = filledBy( N, discreteUniform.factory( 0, x.length-1 ) );
console.log( indices );
// Generate an array of random values:
var values = filledBy( N, discreteUniform.factory( 1000, 2000 ) );
console.log( values );
// Update a random sample of elements in `x`:
var out = put( x, indices, values );
console.log( out );
This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
