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!

bifurcateEntriesBy

Split element entries into two groups according to a predicate function.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/array-base-bifurcate-entries-by

Usage

var bifurcateEntriesBy = require( '@stdlib/array-base-bifurcate-entries-by' );

bifurcateEntriesBy( x, predicate[, thisArg] )

Splits element entries into two groups according to a predicate function.

function predicate( v ) {
    return v[ 0 ] === 'b';
}

var x = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar' ];

var out = bifurcateEntriesBy( x, predicate );
// returns [ [ [ 0, 'beep' ], [ 1, 'boop' ], [ 3, 'bar' ] ], [ [ 2, 'foo' ] ] ]

A predicate function is provided the following arguments:

• value: current array element.
• index: current array element index.
• arr: input array.

To set the predicate function execution context, provide a thisArg.

function predicate( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return v[ 0 ] === 'b';
}

var x = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar' ];

var context = {
    'count': 0
};
var out = bifurcateEntriesBy( x, predicate, context );
// returns [ [ [ 0, 'beep' ], [ 1, 'boop' ], [ 3, 'bar' ] ], [ [ 2, 'foo' ] ] ]

var cnt = context.count;
// returns 4

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var take = require( '@stdlib/array-base-take-indexed' );
var bifurcateEntriesBy = require( '@stdlib/array-base-bifurcate-entries-by' );

function predicate( v ) {
    // Use the first letter of each element to define groups:
    return v[ 0 ] === 'b';
}

// Define an initial array of values:
var values = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar', 'woot', 'woot' ];

// Sample from the initial array to generate a random collection:
var indices = discreteUniform( 100, 0, values.length-1, {
    'dtype': 'generic'
});
var x = take( values, indices );
// returns [...]

// Split the values:
var out = bifurcateEntriesBy( x, predicate );
// returns [...]

console.log( out );
