+# join
+
+> Return an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] created by joining elements using a separator along one or more [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] dimensions.
+
+<section class="usage">
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var join = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/join' );
+```
+
+#### join( x\[, options] )
+
+Returns an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] created by joining elements using a separator along one or more [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] dimensions.
+
+```javascript
+var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
+
+// Create an input ndarray:
+var x = array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
+// returns <ndarray>
+
+// Perform operation:
+var out = join( x );
+// returns <ndarray>[ '1,2,3,4,5,6' ]
+```
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+-   **x**: input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
+-   **options**: function options (_optional_).
+
+The function accepts the following options:
+
+-   **sep**: separator. May be either a scalar value or an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] having a "generic" [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes]. If provided an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor], the value must have a shape which is [broadcast-compatible][@stdlib/ndarray/base/broadcast-shapes] with the complement of the shape defined by `options.dims`. For example, given the input shape `[2, 3, 4]` and `options.dims=[0]`, an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] separator value must have a shape which is [broadcast-compatible][@stdlib/ndarray/base/broadcast-shapes] with the shape `[3, 4]`. Similarly, when performing the operation over all elements in a provided input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor], an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] separator value must be a zero-dimensional [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. Default: `,`.
+-   **dims**: list of dimensions over which to perform operation. If not provided, the function performs the operation over all elements in a provided input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
+-   **keepdims**: boolean indicating whether the reduced dimensions should be included in the returned [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] as singleton dimensions. Default: `false`.
+
+By default, the function joins [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] elements by using `,` as a separator. To perform the operation with a different separator, provide a `sep` option.
+
+```javascript
+var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
+
+var x = array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
+
+var out = join( x, {
+    'sep': '|'
+});
+// returns <ndarray>[ '1|2|3|4|5|6' ]
+```
+
+By default, the function performs the operation over all elements in a provided input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. To perform the operation over specific dimensions, provide a `dims` option.
+
+```javascript
+var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
+
+var x = array( [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ], [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ] );
+
+var out = join( x, {
+    'dims': [ 0 ]
+});
+// returns <ndarray>[ '1,3', '2,4' ]
+
+out = join( x, {
+    'dims': [ 1 ]
+});
+// returns <ndarray>[ '1,2', '3,4' ]
+
+out = join( x, {
+    'dims': [ 0, 1 ]
+});
+// returns <ndarray>[ '1,2,3,4' ]
+```
+
+By default, the function excludes reduced dimensions from the output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. To include the reduced dimensions as singleton dimensions, set the `keepdims` option to `true`.
+
+```javascript
+var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
+
+var x = array( [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ], [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ] );
+
+var opts = {
+    'dims': [ 0 ],
+    'keepdims': true
+};
+
+var out = join( x, opts );
+// returns <ndarray>[ [ '1,3', '2,4' ] ]
+```
+
+#### join.assign( x, out\[, options] )
+
+Joins elements of an input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] using a separator along one or more [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] dimensions and assigns results to a provided output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
+
+```javascript
+var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
+var scalar2ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/from-ndarray' );
+
+var x = array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
+var y = scalar2ndarray( '', {
+    'dtype': 'generic'
+});
+
+var out = join.assign( x, y );
+// returns <ndarray>[ '1,2,3,4' ]
+
+var bool = ( out === y );
+// returns true
+```
+
+The method has the following parameters:
+
+-   **x**: input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
+-   **out**: output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
+-   **options**: function options (_optional_).
+
+The method accepts the following options:
+
+-   **sep**: separator. May be either a scalar value or an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] having a "generic" [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes]. If provided an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor], the value must have a shape which is [broadcast-compatible][@stdlib/ndarray/base/broadcast-shapes] with the complement of the shape defined by `options.dims`. For example, given the input shape `[2, 3, 4]` and `options.dims=[0]`, an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] separator value must have a shape which is [broadcast-compatible][@stdlib/ndarray/base/broadcast-shapes] with the shape `[3, 4]`. Similarly, when performing the operation over all elements in a provided input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor], an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] separator value must be a zero-dimensional [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. Default: `,`.
+-   **dims**: list of dimensions over which to perform operation. If not provided, the function performs the operation over all elements in a provided input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].

+## Notes
+
+-   Setting the `keepdims` option to `true` can be useful when wanting to ensure that the output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] is [broadcast-compatible][@stdlib/ndarray/base/broadcast-shapes] with ndarrays having the same shape as the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
