Int8Vector

Create a signed 8-bit integer vector (i.e., a one-dimensional ndarray).

Installation

npm install @stdlib/ndarray-vector-int8

Usage

var Int8Vector = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-vector-int8' );

Int8Vector( [options] )

Returns a one-dimensional signed 8-bit integer ndarray.

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

var arr = new Int8Vector();
// returns <ndarray>

var len = numel( arr );
// returns 0

The function accepts the following options:

• order: specifies whether an ndarray is 'row-major' (C-style) or 'column-major' (Fortran-style). Default: 'row-major'.
• mode: specifies how to handle indices which exceed array dimensions (see ndarray). Default: 'throw'.
• readonly: boolean indicating whether an array should be read-only. Default: false.

Int8Vector( length[, options] )

Returns a one-dimensional signed 8-bit integer ndarray having a specified length.

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

var arr = new Int8Vector( 5 );
// returns <ndarray>

var len1 = numel( arr );
// returns 5

Int8Vector( obj[, options] )

Creates a one-dimensional signed 8-bit integer ndarray from an array-like object or iterable.

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

var arr = new Int8Vector( [ 1, 2, 3 ] );
// returns <ndarray>

var len1 = numel( arr );
// returns 3

Int8Vector( buffer[, byteOffset[, length]][, options] )

Returns a one-dimensional signed 8-bit integer ndarray view of an ArrayBuffer.

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

var buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );

var arr1 = new Int8Vector( buf );
// returns <ndarray>

var len1 = numel( arr1 );
// returns 32

var arr2 = new Int8Vector( buf, 16 );
// returns <ndarray>

var len2 = numel( arr2 );
// returns 16

var arr3 = new Int8Vector( buf, 16, 1 );
// returns <ndarray>

var len3 = numel( arr3 );
// returns 1

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var sum = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-sum' );
var map = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-map' );
var Int8Vector = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-vector-int8' );

// Create a vector containing random values:
var x = new Int8Vector( discreteUniform( 10, 0, 100 ) );

// Compute the sum:
var v = sum( x );
console.log( v.get() );

// Define a function which applies a threshold to individual values:
function threshold( v ) {
    return ( v > 10 ) ? v : 0;
}

// Apply threshold:
var y = map( x, threshold );

// Recompute the sum:
v = sum( y );
console.log( v.get() );
