About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Multidimensional arrays.
npm install @stdlib/ndarrayAlternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a
scripttag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesmbranch (see README). - If you are using Deno, visit the
denobranch (see README for usage intructions). - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umdbranch (see README).
The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.
To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.
var ns = require( '@stdlib/ndarray' );ndarray namespace.
var o = ns;
// returns {...}The namespace exports the following functions to create multidimensional arrays:
array( [buffer,] [options] ): create a multidimensional array.ndarray( dtype, buffer, shape, strides, offset, order[, options] ): multidimensional array constructor.
The namespace contains the following sub-namespaces:
In addition, the namespace contains the following multidimensional array utility functions:

for a provided ndarray.flags( x ): return the flags of a provided ndarray.forEach( x, fcn[, thisArg] ): invoke a callback function once for each ndarray element.scalar2ndarray( value[, options] ): convert a scalar value to a zero-dimensional ndarray.ind2sub( shape, idx[, options] ): convert a linear index to an array of subscripts.indexModes(): list of ndarray index modes.ndindex( x[, options] ): ndarray index constructor.map( x[, options], fcn[, thisArg] ): apply a callback function to elements in an input ndarray and assign results to elements in a new output ndarray.maybeBroadcastArray( x, shape ): broadcast an ndarray to a specified shape if and only if the specified shape differs from the provided ndarray's shape.maybeBroadcastArrays( arrays ): broadcast ndarrays to a common shape.minDataType( value ): determine the minimum ndarray data type of the closest "kind" necessary for storing a provided scalar value.mostlySafeCasts( [dtype] ): return a list of ndarray data types to which a provided ndarray data type can be safely cast and, for floating-point data types, can be downcast.ndarraylike2ndarray( x[, options] ): convert an ndarray-like object to anndarray.ndims( x ): return the number of ndarray dimensions.nextDataType( [dtype] ): return the next larger ndarray data type of the same kind.numelDimension( x, dim ): return the size (i.e., number of elements) of a specified dimension for a provided ndarray.numel( x ): return the number of elements in an ndarray.offset( x ): return the index offset specifying the underlying buffer index of the first iterated
