Package Exports

@stdlib/ndarray-zeros
@stdlib/ndarray-zeros/dist
@stdlib/ndarray-zeros/dist/index.js
@stdlib/ndarray-zeros/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) 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!

zeros

Create a zero-filled ndarray having a specified shape and data type.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-zeros

Usage

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

zeros( shape[, options] )

Creates a zero-filled ndarray having a specified shape and data type.

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

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

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

The specified output ndarray shape may be either an array-like object or an integer value.

var arr = zeros( 2 );
// returns <ndarray>

var sh = arr.shape;
// returns [ 2 ]

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

The function accepts the following options:

dtype: underlying data type. Default: 'float64'.
order: specifies whether an ndarray is 'row-major' (C-style) or 'column-major' (Fortran-style). Default: 'row-major'.
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.

By default, the function returns an ndarray having a float64 data type. To specify an alternative data type, provide a dtype option.

var arr = zeros( [ 2, 2 ], {
    'dtype': 'float32'
});
// returns <ndarray>

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

var dt = arr.dtype;
// returns 'float32'

Examples

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

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

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