Package Exports

@stdlib/utils-map-function

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

Readme

mapFun

Invoke a function n times and return an array of accumulated function return values.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/utils-map-function

Usage

var mapFun = require( '@stdlib/utils-map-function' );

mapFun( fcn, n[, thisArg ] )

Invokes a function n times and returns an array of accumulated function return values.

function fcn( i ) {
    return i;
}

var arr = mapFun( fcn, 5 );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

To set the function execution context, provide a thisArg.

function fcn( i ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return i;
}

var context = {
    'count': 0
};

var arr = mapFun( fcn, 5, context );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

console.log( context.count );
// => 5

Notes

The invoked function is provided a single argument: the invocation index (zero-based).

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var mapFun = require( '@stdlib/utils-map-function' );

function rand( i ) {
    return randu() * i * 10.0;
}

var arr = mapFun( rand, 100 );
console.log( arr );
