About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

zreplicate

Replicate each element in a double-precision complex floating-point strided array a specified number of times.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/blas-ext-base-zreplicate

Alternatively,

• To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
• If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
• For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

var zreplicate = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-zreplicate' );

zreplicate( N, k, x, strideX, out, strideOut )

Replicates each element in a double-precision complex floating-point strided array a specified number of times.

var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var out = new Complex128Array( 4 );

zreplicate( x.length, 2, x, 1, out, 1 );
// out => <Complex128Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 3.0, 4.0 ]

The function has the following parameters:

• N: number of indexed elements.
• k: number of times to replicate each element.
• x: input Complex128Array.
• strideX: stride length for x.
• out: output Complex128Array.
• strideOut: stride length for out.

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

var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var out = new Complex128Array( 4 );

zreplicate( 2, 2, x, 2, out, 1 );
// out => <Complex128Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 6.0, 5.0, 6.0 ]

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

var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var out0 = new Complex128Array( 3 );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Complex128Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var out1 = new Complex128Array( out0.buffer, out0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

zreplicate( 1, 2, x1, 2, out1, 1 );
// out0 => <Complex128Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 3.0, 4.0, 3.0, 4.0 ]

zreplicate.ndarray( N, k, x, strideX, offsetX, out, strideOut, offsetOut )

Replicates each element in a double-precision complex floating-point strided array a specified number of times using alternative indexing semantics.

var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var out = new Complex128Array( 4 );

zreplicate.ndarray( x.length, 2, x, 1, 0, out, 1, 0 );
// out => <Complex128Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 3.0, 4.0 ]

The function has the following additional parameters:

• offsetX: starting index for x.
• offsetOut: starting index for out.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to replicate every element starting from the second element and to store in the last N*k elements of the output array starting from the last element:

var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var out = new Complex128Array( 2 );

zreplicate.ndarray( 1, 2, x, 1, 1, out, 1, 0 );
// out => <Complex128Array>[ 3.0, 4.0, 3.0, 4.0 ]

Notes

• If N <= 0 or k <= 0, both functions return out unchanged.
• Both functions assume that the output array supports N*k indexed elements.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );
var zreplicate = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-zreplicate' );

var xbuf = discreteUniform( 10, -100, 100, {
    'dtype': 'float64'
});
var x = new Complex128Array( xbuf.buffer );
console.log( x );

var out = new Complex128Array( x.length * 5 );
console.log( out );

zreplicate( x.length, 5, x, 1, out, 1 );
console.log( out );
