szeroTo

Fill a single-precision floating-point strided array with linearly spaced numeric elements which increment by 1 starting from zero.

Usage

var szeroTo = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/szero-to' );

szeroTo( N, x, strideX )

Fills a single-precision floating-point strided array with linearly spaced numeric elements which increment by 1 starting from zero.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

szeroTo( x.length, x, 1 );
// x => <Float32Array>[ 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ]

The function has the following parameters:

• N: number of indexed elements.
• x: input Float32Array.
• strideX: stride length.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to fill every other element:

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

szeroTo( 3, x, 2 );
// x => <Float32Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 2.0, 0.0 ]

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

// Initial array...
var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

// Create an offset view...
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

// Fill every other element...
szeroTo( 3, x1, 2 );
// x0 => <Float32Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 2.0 ]

szeroTo.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX )

Fills a single-precision floating-point strided array with linearly spaced numeric elements which increment by 1 starting from zero using alternative indexing semantics.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

szeroTo.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0 );
// x => <Float32Array>[ 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 ]

The function has the following additional parameters:

• offsetX: starting index.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to access only the last three elements:

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

szeroTo.ndarray( 3, x, 1, x.length-3 );
// x => <Float32Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0 ]

Notes

• If N <= 0, both functions return x unchanged.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/array/discrete-uniform' );
var szeroTo = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/szero-to' );

var x = discreteUniform( 10, -100, 100, {
    'dtype': 'float32'
});
console.log( x );

szeroTo( x.length, x, 1 );
console.log( x );

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/blas/ext/base/szero_to.h"

stdlib_strided_szero_to( N, *X, strideX )

Fills a single-precision floating-point strided array with linearly spaced numeric elements which increment by 1 starting from zero.

float x[] = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f };

stdlib_strided_szero_to( 4, x, 1 );

The function accepts the following arguments:

• N: [in] CBLAS_INT number of indexed elements.
• X: [out] float* input array.
• strideX: [in] CBLAS_INT stride length.

void API_SUFFIX(stdlib_strided_szero_to)( const CBLAS_INT N, float *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX );

stdlib_strided_szero_to_ndarray( N, *X, strideX, offsetX )

Fills a single-precision floating-point strided array with linearly spaced numeric elements which increment by 1 starting from zero using alternative indexing semantics.

float x[] = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f };

stdlib_strided_szero_to_ndarray( 4, x, 1, 0 );

The function accepts the following arguments:

• N: [in] CBLAS_INT number of indexed elements.
• X: [out] float* input array.
• strideX: [in] CBLAS_INT stride length.
• offsetX: [in] CBLAS_INT starting index.

void API_SUFFIX(stdlib_strided_szero_to_ndarray)( const CBLAS_INT N, float *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX, const CBLAS_INT offsetX );

Examples

#include "stdlib/blas/ext/base/szero_to.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    // Create a strided array:
    float x[] = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f };

    // Specify the number of indexed elements:
    const int N = 8;

    // Specify a stride:
    const int strideX = 1;

    // Fill the array:
    stdlib_strided_szero_to( N, x, strideX );

    // Print the result:
    for ( int i = 0; i < 8; i++ ) {
        printf( "x[ %i ] = %f\n", i, x[ i ] );
    }
}
