Package Exports

@stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like
@stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like/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/ndarray-zeros-like) 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!

zerosLike

Create a zero-filled ndarray having the same shape and data type as a provided ndarray.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like

Usage

var zerosLike = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like' );

zerosLike( x[, options] )

Creates a zero-filled ndarray having the same shape and data type as a provided ndarray.

var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros' );

var x = zeros( [ 2, 2 ] );
// returns <ndarray>

var y = zerosLike( x );
// returns <ndarray>

var sh = y.shape;
// returns [ 2, 2 ]

var dt = y.dtype;
// returns 'float64'

The function supports the following options:

dtype: output ndarray data type. Must be a numeric data type or "generic". Overrides the input ndarray's inferred data type.
shape: output ndarray shape. Overrides the input ndarray's inferred shape.
order: specifies whether the output ndarray should be 'row-major' (C-style) or 'column-major' (Fortran-style). Overrides the input ndarray's inferred order.
mode: specifies how to handle indices which exceed array dimensions (see ndarray). Default: 'throw'.
submode: a mode array which specifies for each dimension how to handle subscripts which exceed array dimensions (see ndarray). If provided fewer modes than dimensions, the constructor recycles modes using modulo arithmetic. Default: [ options.mode ].
readonly: boolean indicating whether an array should be read-only. Default: false.

To override either the dtype, shape, or order, specify the corresponding option. For example, to override the inferred data type,

var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros' );

var x = zeros( [ 2, 2 ] );
// returns <ndarray>

var dt = x.dtype;
// returns 'float64'

var y = zerosLike( x, {
    'dtype': 'int32'
});
// returns <ndarray>

var sh = y.shape;
// returns [ 2, 2 ]

dt = y.dtype;
// returns 'int32'

Examples

var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-dtypes' );
var zeros = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros' );
var zerosLike = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-zeros-like' );

// Get a list of data types:
var dt = dtypes( 'numeric' );

// Generate zero-filled arrays...
var x;
var y;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < dt.length; i++ ) {
    x = zeros( [ 2, 2 ], {
        'dtype': dt[ i ]
    });
    y = zerosLike( x );
    console.log( y.data );
}

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.
