Package Exports

@stdlib/blas-base-dcopy

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

Readme

dcopy

Copy values from x into y.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/blas-base-dcopy

Usage

var dcopy = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-dcopy' );

dcopy( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Copies values from x into y.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 ] );

dcopy( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]

The function has the following parameters:

N: number of values to copy.
x: input Float64Array.
strideX: index increment for x.
y: destination Float64Array.
strideY: index increment for y.

The N and stride parameters determine how values from x are copied into y. For example, to copy in reverse order every other value in x into the first N elements of y,

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

dcopy( N, x, -2, y, 1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 5.0, 3.0, 1.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ]

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

var N = floor( x0.length / 2 );

// Copy in reverse order every other value from `x1` into `y1`...
dcopy( N, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// y0 => <Float64Array>[ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]

dcopy.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Copies values from x into y using alternative indexing semantics.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 ] );

dcopy.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]

The function has the following additional parameters:

offsetX: starting index for x.
offsetY: starting index for y.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offsetX and offsetY parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to copy every other value in x starting from the second value into the last N elements in y where x[i] = y[n], x[i+2] = y[n-1],...,

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

dcopy.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]

Notes

If N <= 0, both functions return y unchanged.
dcopy() corresponds to the BLAS level 1 function dcopy.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var dcopy = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-dcopy' );

var x;
var y;
var i;

x = new Float64Array( 10 );
y = new Float64Array( 10 );
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    x[ i ] = round( randu()*500.0 );
    y[ i ] = round( randu()*255.0 );
}
console.log( x );
console.log( y );

// Copy elements from `x` into `y` starting from the end of `y`:
dcopy( x.length, x, 1, y, -1 );
console.log( y );
