| 21 | +# sfill |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +> Fill a single-precision floating-point strided array with a specified scalar constant. |
| 24 | +
|
| 25 | +<section class="usage"> |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Usage |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +```javascript |
| 30 | +var sfill = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/sfill' ); |
| 31 | +``` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +#### sfill( N, alpha, x, stride ) |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Fills a single-precision floating-point strided array `x` with a specified scalar constant `alpha`. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +```javascript |
| 38 | +var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' ); |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +var x = new Float32Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] ); |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +sfill( x.length, 5.0, x, 1 ); |
| 43 | +// x => <Float32Array>[ 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0 ] |
| 44 | +``` |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +The function has the following parameters: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +- **N**: number of indexed elements. |
| 49 | +- **alpha**: scalar constant. |
| 50 | +- **x**: input [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32]. |
| 51 | +- **stride**: index increment. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +The `N` and `stride` parameters determine which elements in `x` are accessed at runtime. For example, to fill every other element |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +```javascript |
| 56 | +var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' ); |
| 57 | +var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' ); |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +var x = new Float32Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] ); |
| 60 | +var N = floor( x.length / 2 ); |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +sfill( N, 5.0, x, 2 ); |
| 63 | +// x => <Float32Array>[ 5.0, 1.0, 5.0, -5.0, 5.0, 0.0, 5.0, -3.0 ] |
| 64 | +``` |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +```javascript |
| 69 | +var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' ); |
| 70 | +var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' ); |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +// Initial array... |
| 73 | +var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] ); |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +// Create an offset view... |
| 76 | +var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element |
| 77 | +var N = floor( x0.length/2 ); |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +// Fill every other element... |
| 80 | +sfill( N, 5.0, x1, 2 ); |
| 81 | +// x0 => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 5.0, 3.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0 ] |
| 82 | +``` |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +#### sfill.ndarray( N, alpha, x, stride, offset ) |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +Fills a single-precision floating-point strided array `x` with a specified scalar constant `alpha` using alternative indexing semantics. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +```javascript |
| 89 | +var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' ); |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +var x = new Float32Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] ); |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +sfill.ndarray( x.length, 5.0, x, 1, 0 ); |
| 94 | +// x => <Float32Array>[ 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0 ] |
| 95 | +``` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +The function has the following additional parameters: |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +- **offset**: starting index. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying `buffer`, the `offset` parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to access only the last three elements of `x` |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +```javascript |
| 104 | +var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' ); |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] ); |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +sfill.ndarray( 3, 5.0, x, 1, x.length-3 ); |
| 109 | +// x => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0 ] |
| 110 | +``` |
