Package Exports

@stdlib/array-ctors

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-ctors) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Constructors

Array constructors.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/array-ctors

Usage

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

ctors( dtype )

Returns an array constructor for a specified data type.

var ctor = ctors( 'float64' );
// returns <Function>

The function returns constructors for the following data types:

float32: single-precision floating-point numbers.
float64: double-precision 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.

If provided an unknown or unsupported data type, the function returns null.

var ctor = ctors( 'float' );
// returns null

Examples

var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/array-dtypes' );
var ctors = require( '@stdlib/array-ctors' );

var DTYPES = dtypes();
var ctor;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < DTYPES.length; i++ ) {
    ctor = ctors( DTYPES[ i ] );
    console.log( ctor );
}

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.
