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!

scopy

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Copy values from x into y.

Usage

To use in Observable,

scopy = require( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/blas-base-scopy@umd/browser.js' )

To vendor stdlib functionality and avoid installing dependency trees for Node.js, you can use the UMD server build:

var scopy = require( 'path/to/vendor/umd/blas-base-scopy/index.js' )

To include the bundle in a webpage,

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/blas-base-scopy@umd/browser.js"></script>

If no recognized module system is present, access bundle contents via the global scope:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
    window.scopy;
})();
</script>

scopy( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Copies values from x into y.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 ] );

scopy( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]

The function has the following parameters:

  • N: number of indexed elements.
  • x: input Float32Array.
  • strideX: index increment for x.
  • y: output Float32Array.
  • strideY: index increment for y.

The N and stride parameters determine how values from x are copied into y. For example, to copy in reverse order every other value in x into the first N elements of y,

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

scopy( 3, x, -2, y, 1 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 5.0, 3.0, 1.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ]

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float32Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float32Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

// Copy in reverse order every other value from `x1` into `y1`...
scopy( 3, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// y0 => <Float32Array>[ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]

scopy.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Copies values from x into y using alternative indexing semantics.

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 ] );

scopy.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]

The function has the following additional parameters:

  • offsetX: starting index for x.
  • offsetY: starting index for y.

While typed array views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to copy every other value in x starting from the second value into the last N elements in y where x[i] = y[n], x[i+2] = y[n-1],...,

var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

scopy.ndarray( 3, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]

Notes

  • If N <= 0, both functions return y unchanged.
  • scopy() corresponds to the BLAS level 1 function scopy.
