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 iterator which returns a subsequence of iterated values from a provided iterator.
npm install @stdlib/iter-slice
var iterSlice = require( '@stdlib/iter-slice' );
Returns an iterator which returns a subsequence of iterated values from a provided iterator.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterSlice( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ) );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 1
v = it.next().value;
// returns 2
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3
// ...
The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:
-
next: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a
value
property and adone
property having aboolean
value indicating whether the iterator is finished. - return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.
By default, the returned iterator returns a provided iterator's first iterated value through an iterator's last iterated value. To specify an alternative start iteration index (zero-based and inclusive), provide a begin
argument.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterSlice( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), 2 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 3
v = it.next().value;
// returns 4
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
By default, the returned iterator continues iterating until it consumes all of a provided iterator's iterated values. To specify an end iteration index (zero-based and non-inclusive), provide an end
argument.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterSlice( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), 1, 3 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 2
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
If begin
is greater than or equal to end
, the returned iterator does not return any iterated values.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterSlice( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), 3, 1 );
// returns <Object>
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-iter-randu' );
var iterSlice = require( '@stdlib/iter-slice' );
// Create a seeded iterator for generating pseudorandom numbers:
var rand = randu({
'seed': 1234
});
// Create an iterator which returns a subsequence of 10 generated numbers:
var it = iterSlice( rand, 10, 20 );
// Perform manual iteration...
var r;
while ( true ) {
r = it.next();
if ( r.done ) {
break;
}
console.log( r.value );
}
-
@stdlib/iter-first
: return the first iterated value. -
@stdlib/iter-head
: create an iterator which returns the firstn
values of a provided iterator.
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.
