stdlib-jsWe 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!
reinterpret
[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]
Reinterpret a [
BooleanArray][@stdlib/array/bool] as a [Uint8Array][@stdlib/array/uint8].
bash
npm install @stdlib/strided-base-reinterpret-boolean
javascript
var reinterpret = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-reinterpret-boolean' );
#### reinterpret( x, offset )
Returns a [Uint8Array][@stdlib/array/uint8] view of a [BooleanArray][@stdlib/array/bool].
javascript
var BooleanArray = require( '@stdlib/array-bool' );
var x = new BooleanArray( 10 );
var view = reinterpret( x, 0 );
// returns <Uint8Array>
var bool = ( view.buffer === x.buffer );
// returns true
var len = view.length;
// returns 10
The offset argument specifies the starting index of the returned [Uint8Array][@stdlib/array/uint8] view relative to the [BooleanArray][@stdlib/array/bool].
javascript
var BooleanArray = require( '@stdlib/array-bool' );
var x = new BooleanArray( [ true, false, false, true, true, false ] );
var view = reinterpret( x, 2 );
// returns <Uint8Array>
var len = view.length;
// returns 4
var v = view[ 0 ];
// returns 0
v = view[ 1 ];
// returns 1
javascript
var BooleanArray = require( '@stdlib/array-bool' );
var reinterpret = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-reinterpret-boolean' );
// Define a boolean array:
var x = new BooleanArray( [ true, false, false, true, true, false ] );
// returns <BooleanArray>
// Reinterpret as a `uint8` array:
var view = reinterpret( x, 0 );
// returns <Uint8Array>
// Set view elements:
view[ 0 ] = 0;
view[ 1 ] = 1;
// Get the first element of the boolean array:
var v = x.get( 0 );
// returns false
// Get the second element of the boolean array:
v = x.get( 1 );
// returns true
