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!

typedarray

Create a typed array.

Usage

import typedarray from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-typed@deno/mod.js';

typedarray( [dtype] )

Creates a typed array having a specified data type.

var arr = typedarray();
// returns <Float64Array>

By default, the output typed array data type is float64. To specify an alternative data type, provide a dtype argument.

var arr = typedarray( 'int32' );
// returns <Int32Array>

typedarray( length[, dtype] )

Returns a typed array having a specified length.

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

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

typedarray( typedarray[, dtype] )

Creates a typed array from another typed array.

var arr1 = typedarray( [ 5.0, -3.0, 2.0 ] );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 5.0, -3.0, 2.0 ]

var arr2 = typedarray( arr1 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 5.0, -3.0, 2.0 ]

var arr3 = typedarray( arr1, 'int32' );
// returns <Int32Array>[ 5, -3, 2 ]

typedarray( obj[, dtype] )

Creates a typed array from an array-like object or iterable.

var arr1 = typedarray( [ 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 ] );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 ]

var arr2 = typedarray( [ 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 ], 'float32' );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 ]

If dtype is complex number data type and an array-like object contains interleaved real and imaginary components, the array-like object must have a length which is a multiple of two.

typedarray( buffer[, byteOffset[, length]][, dtype] )

Returns a typed array view of an ArrayBuffer.

import ArrayBuffer from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-buffer@deno/mod.js';
var buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );

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

var arr2 = typedarray( buf, 'float32' );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]

var arr3 = typedarray( buf, 16 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0 ]

var arr4 = typedarray( buf, 16, 'float32' );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]

var arr5 = typedarray( buf, 16, 1 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 0.0 ]

var arr6 = typedarray( buf, 10, 4, 'int16' );
// returns <Int16Array>[ 0, 0, 0, 0 ]

Notes

• When providing a complex number array, if dtype is unspecified or the specified data type is not a complex number data type, the returned array contains interleaved real and imaginary components.

Examples

import randu from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/random-base-randu@deno/mod.js';
import typedarray from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-typed@deno/mod.js';

var arr = typedarray( 100, 'float64' );

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
    arr[ i ] = randu() * 100.0;
}
console.log( arr );
