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!

takeMap

Take elements from an array and return a new array after applying a mapping function.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/array-base-take-map

Usage

var takeMap = require( '@stdlib/array-base-take-map' );

takeMap( x, indices, mode, clbk )

Takes elements from an array and returns a new array after applying a mapping function.

var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

function customMapping( value ) {
    return value * 2;
}

var y = takeMap( x, [ 1, 3 ], 'throw', customMapping );
// returns [ 4, 8 ]

The function supports the following parameters:

• x: input array.
• indices: list of indices.
• mode: index mode.
• clbk: function to apply.

takeMap.assign( x, indices, mode, out, stride, offset, clbk )

Takes elements from an array and assigns the values to elements in a provided output array.

var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var out = [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ];
var indices = [ 0, 0, 1, 1, 3, 3 ];

function clbk( val ) {
    return val * 2;
}

var arr = takeMap.assign( x, indices, 'throw', out, -1, out.length-1, clbk );
// returns [ 8, 8, 4, 4, 2, 2 ]

var bool = ( arr === out );
// returns true

The function supports the following parameters:

• x: input array.
• indices: list of indices.
• mode: index mode.
• out: output array.
• stride: output array stride.
• offset: output array offset.
• clbk: callback function.

Examples

var filledBy = require( '@stdlib/array-base-filled-by' );
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' );
var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array-base-linspace' );
var takeMap = require( '@stdlib/array-base-take-map' );

// Generate a linearly spaced array:
var x = linspace( 0, 100, 11 );
console.log( x );

// Generate an array of random indices:
var N = discreteUniform( 5, 15 );
var indices = filledBy( N, discreteUniform.factory( 0, x.length-1 ) );
console.log( indices );

// Define a mapping function (e.g., square the value):
function square( val ) {
    return val * val;
}

// Take a random sample of elements from `x` and apply the mapping function:
var y = takeMap( x, indices, 'throw', square );
console.log( y );
