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 individual elements from a provided
ndarray.
npm install @stdlib/ndarray-iter-valuesAlternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a
scripttag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesmbranch (see README). - If you are using Deno, visit the
denobranch (see README for usage intructions). - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umdbranch (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 nditerValues = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-iter-values' );Returns an iterator which returns individual elements from a provided ndarray.
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var x = array( [ [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ], [ [ 5, 6 ], [ 7, 8 ] ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>
var iter = nditerValues( x );
var v = iter.next().value;
// returns 1
v = iter.next().value;
// returns 2
v = iter.next().value;
// returns 3
// ...The function accepts the following options:
- order: index iteration order. By default, the returned iterator returns values according to the layout order of the provided array. Accordingly, for row-major input arrays, the last dimension indices increment fastest. For column-major input arrays, the first dimension indices increment fastest. To override the inferred order and ensure that indices increment in a specific manner, regardless of the input array's layout order, explicitly set the iteration order. Note, however, that iterating according to an order which does not match that of the input array may, in some circumstances, result in performance degradation due to cache misses. Must be either
'row-major'or'column-major'.
By default, the iterator iterates according to the layout order of the input ndarray. To iterate according to a specified order, set the order option.
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var x = array( [ [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ], [ [ 5, 6 ], [ 7, 8 ] ] ], {
'order': 'row-major'
});
// returns <ndarray>
var iter = nditerValues( x, {
'order': 'column-major'
});
var v = iter.next().value;
// returns 1
v = iter.next().value;
// returns 5
v = iter.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
valueproperty and adoneproperty having abooleanvalue indicating whether the iterator is finished. - return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.
- If an environment supports
Symbol.iterator, the returned iterator is iterable. - A returned iterator does not copy a provided
ndarray. To ensure iterable reproducibility, copy the inputndarraybefore creating an iterator. Otherwise, any changes to the contents of inputndarraywill be reflected in the returned iterator. - In environments supporting
Symbol.iterator, the function explicitly does not invoke an ndarray's@@iteratormethod, regardless of whether this method is defined.
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/array-base-zero-to' );
var nditerValues = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-iter-values' );
// Define an input array:
var x = array( zeroTo( 27 ), {
'shape': [ 3, 3, 3 ]
});
// Create an iterator for returning individual elements:
var it = nditerValues( x );
// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
v = it.next();
if ( v.done ) {
break;
}
console.log( v.value );

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.
