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!

maybeBroadcastArrays

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Broadcast ndarrays to a common shape.

Usage

import maybeBroadcastArrays from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/ndarray-base-maybe-broadcast-arrays@esm/index.mjs';

maybeBroadcastArrays( arrays )

Broadcasts ndarrays to a common shape.

import array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/ndarray-array@esm/index.mjs';
import zeros from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/ndarray-zeros@esm/index.mjs';

// Create a 2x2 ndarray:
var x = array( [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Create a 2x2x2 ndarray:
var y = zeros( [ 2, 2, 2 ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Broadcast to a common shape:
var out = maybeBroadcastArrays( [ x, y ] );
// returns [ <ndarray>, <ndarray> ]

Notes

  • The function throws an error if a provided broadcast-incompatible ndarrays.
  • If a provided ndarray has a shape matching the common shape, the function returns the provided ndarray.
  • If a provided ndarray has a different (broadcast compatible) shape than the common shape, the function returns a new (base) ndarray view of the provided ndarray's data. The view is typically not contiguous. As more than one element of a returned view may refer to the same memory location, writing to a view may affect multiple elements. If you need to write to a returned ndarray, copy the ndarray before performing operations which may mutate elements.
  • A returned ndarray is a "base" ndarray, and, thus, a returned ndarray view does not perform bounds checking or afford any of the guarantees of the non-base ndarray constructor. The primary intent of this function is to broadcast ndarray-like objects within internal implementations and to do so with minimal overhead.

import maybeBroadcastArrays from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/ndarray-base-maybe-broadcast-arrays@esm/index.mjs';

// Create a 2x2 array:
var x = array( [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Create a 3x2x2 array:
var y = zeros( [ 3, 2, 2 ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Broadcast arrays to a common shape:
var out = maybeBroadcastArrays( [ x, y ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Retrieve the common shape:
var sh = out[ 0 ].shape;
// returns [ 3, 2, 2 ]

// Retrieve the number of elements:
var N = numel( sh );

// Loop through the array elements...
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < N; i++ ) {
    console.log( 'X[%s] = %d', ind2sub( sh, i ).join( ', ' ), out[ 0 ].iget( i ) );
