Package Exports

compute-inf

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 (compute-inf) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

inf

Creates an infinity-filled matrix or array.

Installation

$ npm install compute-inf

For use in the browser, use browserify.

Usage

var inf = require( 'compute-inf' );

inf( dims[, opts] )

Creates an infinity-filled matrix or array. The dims argument may either be a positive integer specifying a length or an array of positive integers specifying dimensions.

var out;

out = inf( 5 );
// returns [ +inf, +inf, +inf, +inf, +inf ];

out = inf( [2,1,2] );
// returns [ [ [+inf,+inf] ], [ [+inf,+inf] ] ]

The function accepts the following options:

dtype: output data type. The following dtypes are accepted:
- float32
- float64
- generic (default)
sign: specifies whether to fill using positive or negative infinity. Default: +1.

By default, the output data structure is a generic array. To output a typed array or matrix, set the dtype option.

var out;

out = inf( 5, {
    'dtype': 'float32'
});
// returns Float32Array( [+inf,+inf,+inf,+inf,+inf] );

out = inf( [3,2], {
    'dtype': 'float64'
});
/*
    [ +inf +inf
      +inf +inf
      +inf +inf ]
*/

To fill using negative infinity, set the sign option to -1.

var out = inf( 5, {
    'sign': -1
});
// returns [ -inf, -inf, -inf, -inf, -inf ];

Notes: * Currently, for more than 2 dimensions, the function outputs a generic array and ignores any specified dtype.

``` javascript
var out = inf( [2,1,3], {
    'dtype': 'float32'
});
// returns [ [ [+inf,+inf,+inf] ], [ [+inf,+inf,+inf] ] ]
```

Integer arrays are not supported. In JavaScript, positive and negative infinity are only represented in floating-point storage formats (IEEE 754).

inf.compile( dims )

Compiles a function for creating infinity-filled arrays having specified dimensions.

var fcn, out;

fcn = inf.compile( [2,1,3] );

out = fcn();
// returns [ [ [+inf,+inf,+inf] ], [ [+inf,+inf,+inf] ] ]

out = fcn();
// returns [ [ [+inf,+inf,+inf] ], [ [+inf,+inf,+inf] ] ]

Notes: * When repeatedly creating arrays having the same shape, creating a customized inf function will provide performance benefits.

Examples

var inf = require( 'compute-inf' ),
    out;

// Plain arrays...

// 1x10:
out = inf( 10 );

// 2x1x3:
out = inf( [2,1,3] );

// 5x5x5:
out = inf( [5,5,5] );

// 10x5x10x20:
out = inf( [10,5,10,20] );

// Typed arrays...
out = inf( 10, {
    'dtype': 'float32',
    'sign': -1
});

// Matrices...
out = inf( [3,2], {
    'dtype': 'float64'
});

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

$ node ./examples/index.js

Tests

Unit

Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.

Test Coverage

This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test-cov

Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

$ make view-cov
