Package Exports

@stdlib/iter-empty
@stdlib/iter-empty/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/iter-empty) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

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!

iterEmpty

Create an empty iterator.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/iter-empty

Usage

var iterEmpty = require( '@stdlib/iter-empty' );

iterEmpty()

Returns an "empty" iterator (i.e., an iterator which never returns an iterated value).

var it = iterEmpty();
// returns <Object>

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:

next: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a value property and a done property having a boolean value indicating whether the iterator is finished.
return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.

Notes

If an environment supports Symbol.iterator, the returned iterator is iterable.

Examples

var iterEmpty = require( '@stdlib/iter-empty' );

// Create an iterator:
var it = iterEmpty();

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( v.done ) {
        console.log( 'done' );
        break;
    }
    // The following should never run...
    console.log( v.value );
}

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.
