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!

Apply a unary function to each element retrieved from a strided input array according to a callback function and assign results to a strided output array.
bash
npm install @stdlib/strided-base-map-by
javascript
var mapBy = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-map-by' );
#### mapBy( N, x, strideX, y, strideY, fcn, clbk[, thisArg] )
Applies a unary function to each element retrieved from a strided input array according to a callback function and assigns results to a strided output array.
javascript
var abs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-abs' );
function accessor( v ) {
return v * 2.0;
}
var x = [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];
mapBy( x.length, x, 1, y, 1, abs, accessor );
// y => [ 4.0, 2.0, 6.0, 10.0, 8.0, 0.0, 2.0, 6.0 ]
The function accepts the following arguments:
- N: number of indexed elements.
- x: input [Array
][mdn-array], [typed array
][mdn-typed-array], or an array-like object (excluding strings and functions).
- strideX: index increment for x
.
- y: output [Array
][mdn-array], [typed array
][mdn-typed-array], or an array-like object (excluding strings and functions).
- strideY: index increment for y
.
- fcn: unary function to apply to callback return values.
- clbk: callback function.
- thisArg: execution context (optional).
The invoked callback function is provided four arguments:
- value: input array element.
- idx: iteration index (zero-based).
- indices: input and output array strided indices [ix, iy]
(computed according to offset + idx*stride
).
- arrays: input and output arrays/collections [x, y]
.
To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg
.
javascript
var abs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-abs' );
function accessor( v ) {
this.count += 1;
return v * 2.0;
}
var context = {
'count': 0
};
var x = [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];
mapBy( x.length, x, 1, y, 1, abs, accessor, context );
// y => [ 4.0, 2.0, 6.0, 10.0, 8.0, 0.0, 2.0, 6.0 ]
var cnt = context.count;
// returns 8
The N
and stride
parameters determine which elements in x
and y
are accessed at runtime. For example, to index every other value in x
and to index the first N
elements of y
in reverse order,
javascript
var abs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-abs' );
function accessor( v ) {
return v * 2.0;
}
var x = [ -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0, -5.0, -6.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];
mapBy( 3, x, 2, y, -1, abs, accessor );
// y => [ 10.0, 6.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [typed array
][mdn-typed-array] views.
javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var abs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-abs' );
function accessor( v ) {
return v * 2.0;
}
// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0, -5.0, -6.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );
// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element
mapBy( 3, x1, -2, y1, 1, abs, accessor );
// y0 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 12.0, 8.0, 4.0 ]
#### mapBy.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY, fcn, clbk[, thisArg] )
Applies a unary function to each element retrieved from a strided input array according to a callback function and assigns results to a strided output array using alternative indexing semantics.
javascript
var abs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-abs' );
function accessor( v ) {
return v * 2.0;
}
var x = [ -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0, -5.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];
mapBy.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0, abs, accessor );
// y => [ 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0 ]
The function accepts the following additional arguments:
- offsetX: starting index for x
.
- offsetY: starting index for y
.
While [typed array
][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer
, the offsetX
and offsetY
parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to index every other value in x
starting from the second value and to index the last N
elements in y
in reverse order,
javascript
var abs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-abs' );
function accessor( v ) {
return v * 2.0;
}
var x = [ -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0, -5.0, -6.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];
mapBy.ndarray( 3, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1, abs, accessor );
// y => [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 12.0, 8.0, 4.0 ]
undefined
), the value is ignored.
javascript
var abs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-abs' );
function accessor() {
// No-op...
}
var x = [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ];
var y = [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];
mapBy( x.length, x, 1, y, 1, abs, accessor );
// y => [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' ).factory;
var filledarray = require( '@stdlib/array-filled' );
var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array-filled-by' );
var abs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-abs' );
var mapBy = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-map-by' );
function accessor( v, i ) {
if ( (i%3) === 0 ) {
// Simulate a "missing" value...
return;
}
return v;
}
var x = filledarrayBy( 10, 'generic', discreteUniform( -100, 100 ) );
console.log( x );
var y = filledarray( null, 10, 'generic' );
console.log( y );
mapBy.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, -1, y.length-1, abs, accessor );
console.log( y );
