Identity Function

Evaluate the identity function of an unsigned 8-bit integer.

The identity-function is defined as

for all x.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/number-uint8-base-identity

Usage

var identity = require( '@stdlib/number-uint8-base-identity' );

identity( x )

Evaluates the identity function for an unsigned 8-bit integer.

var v = identity( 1 );
// returns 1

v = identity( 2 );
// returns 2

v = identity( 0 );
// returns 0

v = identity( 255 );
// returns 255

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each-map' );
var identity = require( '@stdlib/number-uint8-base-identity' );

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'uint8'
};

// Create an array of random values:
var x = discreteUniform( 100, 0, 50, opts );

// Perform element-wise operation:
logEachMap( 'identity(%d) = %d', x, identity );

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/number/uint8/base/identity.h"

stdlib_base_uint8_identity( x )

Evaluates the identity function for an unsigned 8-bit integer.

#include <stdint.h>

uint8_t y = stdlib_base_uint8_identity( 2 );
// returns 2

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: [in] uint8_t input value.

uint8_t stdlib_base_uint8_identity( const uint8_t x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/number/uint8/base/identity.h"
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    const uint8_t x[] = { 3, 5, 10, 12 };

    uint8_t y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        y = stdlib_base_uint8_identity( x[ i ] );
        printf( "f(%u) = %u\n", x[ i ], y );
    }
}
