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!

iterIntersection

Create an iterator which returns the intersection of two or more iterators.

Usage

import iterIntersection from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/iter-intersection@deno/mod.js';

iterIntersection( iter0, ...iterator )

Returns an iterator which returns the intersection of two or more iterators.

import array2iterator from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-to-iterator@deno/mod.js';

var it1 = array2iterator( [ 2, 1, 1, 2, 4 ] );
var it2 = array2iterator( [ 3, 4, 3 ] );

var it = iterIntersection( it1, it2 );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 4

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

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 a done property having a boolean 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.

Notes

• Value "uniqueness" is determined according to strict equality.
• A returned iterator internally buffers unique values and, thus, has O(N) memory requirements, where N is the length of the first iterator.
• Do not provide iterators having infinite length.
• If an environment supports Symbol.iterator and all provided iterators are iterable, the returned iterator is iterable.

Examples

import discreteUniform from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/random-iter-discrete-uniform@deno/mod.js';
import iterIntersection from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/iter-intersection@deno/mod.js';

// Create seeded iterators which can generate 1000 pseudorandom numbers:
var rand1 = discreteUniform( 1, 10, {
    'seed': 1234,
    'iter': 1000
});
var rand2 = discreteUniform( 6, 15, {
    'seed': 1234,
    'iter': 1000
});

// Create an iterator which returns the intersection of the seeded iterators:
var it = iterIntersection( rand1, rand2 );

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( v.done ) {
        break;
    }
    console.log( v.value );
}
