Package Exports

@stdlib/array-convert-same
@stdlib/array-convert-same/lib/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/array-convert-same) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Convert

Convert an array to the same data type as a second input array.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/array-convert-same

Usage

var convertArraySame = require( '@stdlib/array-convert-same' );

convertArraySame( x, y )

Converts an array to the same data type as a second input array.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ];
var y = new Float32Array( 0 );

var out = convertArraySame( x, y );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ]

The function supports input arrays having the following data types:

float32: single-precision floating-point numbers.
float64: double-precision floating-point numbers.
complex64: single-precision complex floating-point numbers.
complex128: double-precision complex floating-point numbers.
generic: values of any type.
int16: signed 16-bit integers.
int32: signed 32-bit integers.
int8: signed 8-bit integers.
uint16: unsigned 16-bit integers.
uint32: unsigned 32-bit integers.
uint8: unsigned 8-bit integers.
uint8c: unsigned clamped 8-bit integers.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' ).factory;
var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array-filled-by' );
var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/array-dtypes' );
var ctors = require( '@stdlib/array-ctors' );
var convertArraySame = require( '@stdlib/array-convert-same' );

// Create a generic array:
var arr = filledarrayBy( 5, 'generic', discreteUniform( -100, 100 ) );

// Get a list of array data types:
var DTYPES = dtypes();

// Convert the generic array to each array data type:
var out;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < DTYPES.length; i++ ) {
    out = convertArraySame( arr, new ( ctors( DTYPES[ i ] ) )( 0 ) );
    console.log( out );
}

Notice

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.
