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!
Create an uninitialized array having a specified length.
npm install @stdlib/array-emptyvar empty = require( '@stdlib/array-empty' );Creates an uninitialized array having a specified length.
var arr = empty( 2 );
// returns <Float64Array>By default, the output array data type is float64 (i.e., a typed array). To specify an alternative data type, provide a dtype argument.
var arr = empty( 2, 'int32' );
// returns <Int32Array>- In browser environments, the function always returns zero-filled arrays.
- If
dtypeis'generic', the function always returns a zero-filled array. - In Node.js versions
>=3.0.0, the underlying memory of returned typed arrays is not initialized. Memory contents are unknown and may contain sensitive data.
var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/array-dtypes' );
var empty = require( '@stdlib/array-empty' );
// Get a list of array data types:
var dt = dtypes();
// Generate empty arrays...
var arr;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < dt.length; i++ ) {
arr = empty( 4, dt[ i ] );
console.log( arr );

@stdlib/array-empty-like: create an uninitialized array having the same length and data type as a provided array. -
@stdlib/array-full: create a filled array having a specified length. -
@stdlib/array-ones: create an array filled with ones and having a specified length. -
@stdlib/array-zeros: create a zero-filled array having a specified length. -
@stdlib/ndarray-empty: create an uninitialized ndarray having a specified shape and data type.
This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
