@stdlib/strided-base-offset-view v0.2.1

offsetView

Return a typed array view having the same data type as a provided input typed array and starting at a specified index offset.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/strided-base-offset-view

Usage

var offsetView = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-offset-view' );

offsetView( x, offset )

Returns a typed array view having the same data type as a provided input typed array and starting at a specified index offset.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( 10 );

var view = offsetView( x, 0 );
// returns <Float64Array>

var bool = ( view.buffer === x.buffer );
// returns true

var len = view.length;
// returns 10

The offset argument specifies the starting index of the returned typed array view relative to the input array x.

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 ] );

var view = offsetView( x, 2 );
// returns <Float64Array>

var len = view.length;
// returns 6

var v1 = view[ 0 ];
// returns 3.0

var v2 = view[ 1 ];
// returns 4.0

Examples

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var offsetView = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-offset-view' );

// Define a typed array:
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 ] );
// returns <Float64Array>

// Create a view of the array:
var view = offsetView( x, 0 );
// returns <Float64Array>

// Set view elements:
view[ 0 ] = 9.0;
view[ 1 ] = 10.0;

// Get the first two elements of the original array:
var v0 = x[ 0 ];
// returns 9.0

var v1 = x[ 1 ];
// returns 10.0
