@stdlib/iter-union v0.2.1
iterUnion
Create an iterator which returns the union of two or more iterators.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/iter-union
Usage
var iterUnion = require( '@stdlib/iter-union' );
iterUnion( iter0, ...iterator )
Returns an iterator which returns the union of two or more iterators.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it1 = array2iterator( [ 2, 1, 1, 2, 4 ] );
var it2 = array2iterator( [ 3, 4, 3 ] );
var it = iterUnion( it1, it2 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 2
v = it.next().value;
// returns 1
v = it.next().value;
// returns 4
v = it.next().value;
// returns 3
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 adone
property having aboolean
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, whereN
is the total number of iterator source values. - If an environment supports
Symbol.iterator
and all provided iterators are iterable, the returned iterator is iterable.
Examples
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-iter-discrete-uniform' );
var iterUnion = require( '@stdlib/iter-union' );
// 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 union of the seeded iterators:
var it = iterUnion( rand1, rand2 );
// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
v = it.next();
if ( v.done ) {
break;
}
console.log( v.value );
}
