@stdlib/stats-iter-curange

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!

itercurange

Create an iterator which iteratively computes a cumulative range.

The range is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-iter-curange

Usage

var itercurange = require( '@stdlib/stats-iter-curange' );

itercurange( iterator )

Returns an iterator which iteratively computes a cumulative range.

var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );

var arr = array2iterator( [ 2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -7.0, -5.0 ] );
var it = itercurange( arr );

var r = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

r = it.next().value;
// returns 1.0

r = it.next().value;
// returns 2.0

r = it.next().value;
// returns 10.0

r = it.next().value;
// returns 10.0

Notes

• If an iterated value is non-numeric (including NaN), the function returns NaN for all future iterations. If non-numeric iterated values are possible, you are advised to provide an iterator which type checks and handles non-numeric values accordingly.

Examples

var runif = require( '@stdlib/random-iter-uniform' );
var itercurange = require( '@stdlib/stats-iter-curange' );

// Create an iterator for generating uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers:
var rand = runif( -10.0, 10.0, {
    'seed': 1234,
    'iter': 100
});

// Create an iterator for iteratively computing a cumulative range:
var it = itercurange( rand );

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( typeof v.value === 'number' ) {
        console.log( 'range: %d', v.value );
    }
    if ( v.done ) {
        break;
    }
}
