Package Exports

compute-reverse

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

Readme

Reverse

Reverse an array in place.

Installation

$ npm install compute-reverse

For use in the browser, use browserify.

Usage

To use the module,

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

reverse( arr )

Reverses an array in place.

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

reverse( arr );

Note: the input array is mutated.

Examples

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

var arr = new Array( 100 );

for ( var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
    arr[ i ] = i;
}
reverse( arr );

console.log( JSON.stringify( arr ) );

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

$ node ./examples/index.js

Notes

According to ECMA specification 262, when implementing the native array.reverse() method, one must check whether array elements are defined before determining how to swap elements. If one element is a hole, only the non-hole value is assigned to a temporary value before being assigned to a new position in the array. The element's original position is then deleted. See the V8 (Node.js) implementation for an example.

If we eliminate the hole checks and additional temporary variables, we can streamline the algorithm for performance gains. See jsPerf for benchmarks.

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,

$ open reports/coverage/lcov-report/index.html
