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!
Resolve the output ndarray data type from a list of input ndarray data types.
To use in Observable,
outputDataType = require( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/ndarray-base-output-dtype@umd/browser.js' )To vendor stdlib functionality and avoid installing dependency trees for Node.js, you can use the UMD server build:
var outputDataType = require( 'path/to/vendor/umd/ndarray-base-output-dtype/index.js' )To include the bundle in a webpage,
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/ndarray-base-output-dtype@umd/browser.js"></script>If no recognized module system is present, access bundle contents via the global scope:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
window.outputDataType;
})();
</script>Resolves the output ndarray data type from a list of input ndarray data types according to a data type policy.
var dt = outputDataType( [ 'int32', 'uint32' ], 'floating_point' );
// returns 'float64'The function supports the following parameters:
- dtypes: list of input ndarray data types.
- policy: output data type policy.
If policy is a data type, the function always returns the policy value (i.e., the second argument).
var dt = outputDataType( [ 'float32', 'float32' ], 'float64' );
// returns 'float64'
dt = outputDataType( [ 'int32', 'complex128' ], 'float64' );
// returns 'float64'
// ...-
When provided more than data type, the function always applies type promotion to the provided data types, except for the following data type policies:
