prependSingletonDimensions

Prepend singleton dimensions.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-prepend-singleton-dimensions

Usage

var prependSingletonDimensions = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-prepend-singleton-dimensions' );

prependSingletonDimensions( x, n, writable )

Returns an ndarray with a specified number of prepended singleton dimensions (i.e., dimensions whose size is equal to 1).

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

// Create a 2x2 ndarray:
var x = array( [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>[ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ]

// Prepend singleton dimensions:
var y = prependSingletonDimensions( x, 3, false );
// returns <ndarray>[ [ [ [ 1, 2 ] ], [ [ 3, 4 ] ] ] ]

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: input ndarray.
• n: number of singleton dimensions to prepend.
• writable: boolean indicating whether a returned ndarray should be writable.

Examples

var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random-uniform' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var prependSingletonDimensions = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-prepend-singleton-dimensions' );

var x = uniform( [ 3, 3, 3 ], -10.0, 10.0 );
console.log( ndarray2array( x ) );

var y = prependSingletonDimensions( x, 3, false );
console.log( ndarray2array( y ) );
