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 replaces all values from a provided iterator from a start index to an end index with a static value.
npm install @stdlib/iter-fill
Alternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a
script
tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesm
branch (see README). - If you are using Deno, visit the
deno
branch (see README for usage intructions). - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umd
branch (see README).
The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.
To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.
var iterFill = require( '@stdlib/iter-fill' );
Returns an iterator which replaces all values from a provided iterator
from a begin
index to an end
index with a static value
.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterFill( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), 3.14 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
// ...
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 replaces/fills a provided iterator's first iterated value through an iterator's last iterated value. To specify an alternative start iteration index at which to begin filling (zero-based and inclusive), provide a begin
argument.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterFill( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), 3.14, 2 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 1
v = it.next().value;
// returns 2
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
By default, the returned iterator continues filling until it replaces all of a provided iterator's iterated values. To specify an end iteration index at which to stop filling (zero-based and non-inclusive), provide an end
argument.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterFill( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), 3.14, 1, 3 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 1
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.14
v = it.next().value;
// returns 4
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
If begin
is greater than or equal to end
, the returned iterator does not replace any iterated values.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it = iterFill( array2iterator( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), 3.14, 3, 1 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 1
v = it.next().value;
// returns 2
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3
v = it.next().value;
// returns 4
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
- If
end
exceeds the length of the providediterator
, the returned iterator replaces the subsequence of iterated values starting frombegin
until the last iterated value of the providediterator
. - If an environment supports
Symbol.iterator
and a provided iterator is iterable, the returned iterator is iterable.
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-iter-randu' );
var iterFill = require( '@stdlib/iter-fill' );
// Create a seeded iterator for generating pseudorandom numbers:
var rand = randu({
'seed': 1234,
'iter': 100
});
// Create an iterator which replaces a subsequence of 10 generated numbers:
var it = iterFill( rand, 3.14, 10, 20 );
// Perform manual iteration...
var r;
while ( true ) {
r = it.next();
if ( r.done ) {
break;
}
console.log( r.value );
}
