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!

unitspace

Generate a linearly spaced numeric array whose elements increment by 1.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/array-base-unitspace

Usage

var unitspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-unitspace' );

unitspace( start, stop )

Generates a linearly spaced numeric array whose elements increment by 1.

var arr = unitspace( 0, 6 );
// returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]

Notes

• The output array is guaranteed to include the start value but does not include the stop value. Beware that values subsequent to the start value are subject to floating-point errors. Hence,

  var arr = unitspace( -0.7, 1 );
  // returns [ -0.7, ~0.3 ]

  where arr[1] is only guaranteed to be approximately equal to 0.3.

  If you desire more control over element precision, consider using roundn:

  var roundn = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-roundn' );
  
  // Create an array subject to floating-point errors:
  var arr = unitspace( -10.7, 11.7 );
  
  // Round each value to the nearest hundredth:
  var i;
  for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
      arr[ i ] = roundn( arr[ i ], -2 );
  }
  
  console.log( arr.join( '\n' ) );

Examples

var sort2hp = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-gsort2hp' );
var filledBy = require( '@stdlib/array-base-filled-by' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var unitspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-unitspace' );

// Generate an array of random numbers:
var x = filledBy( 10, randu );

// Generate an array of indices:
var idx = unitspace( 0, x.length );

// Create a temporary array to avoid mutation:
var tmp = x.slice();

// Sort the index array according to the sort order of `x`:
sort2hp( x.length, 1, tmp, 1, idx, 1 );

console.log( x );
console.log( idx );
