## Usage

```javascript
var inmap = require( '@stdlib/utils/inmap' );
```

#### inmap( collection, fcn\[, thisArg ] )

Invokes a `function` for each element in a `collection` and updates the `collection` in-place.

```javascript
function scale( value, index ) {
    return value * index;
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var out = inmap( arr, scale );
// returns [ 0, 2, 6, 12 ]

var bool = ( out === arr );
// returns true
```

The invoked `function` is provided three arguments:

-   `value`: collection element
-   `index`: collection index
-   `collection`: input collection

Basic support for dynamic collections is provided. Note, however, that index incrementation is monotonically increasing.

```javascript
function scale1( value, index, collection ) {
    if ( index === collection.length-1 && collection.length < 10 ) {
        collection.push( index+2 );
    }
    return value * index;
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var out = inmap( arr, scale1 );
// returns [ 0, 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, 42, 56, 72, 90 ]

function scale2( value, index, collection ) {
    collection.shift();
    return value * index;
}

arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

out = inmap( arr, scale2 );
// returns [ 3, 3 ]
```

To set the function execution context, provide a `thisArg`.

```javascript
function sum( value ) {
    this.sum += value;
    this.count += 1;
    return value;
}

var arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var context = {
    'sum': 0,
    'count': 0
};

var out = inmap( arr, sum, context );
// returns [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]

var mean = context.sum / context.count;
// returns 2.5
```

## Notes

-   A `collection` may be either an [`Array`][mdn-array], [`Typed Array`][mdn-typed-array], or an array-like [`Object`][mdn-object] (excluding `strings` and `functions`).

-   The function differs from [`Array.prototype.map`][mdn-array-map] in the following ways:

    -   The function returns the input `collection`.

    -   The function modifies `collection` elements in-place.

    -   The function does **not** skip `undefined` elements.

        <!-- eslint-disable no-sparse-arrays, stdlib/doctest-marker -->

        ```javascript
        function log( value, index ) {
            console.log( '%s: %s', index, value );
            return value;
        }

        var arr = [ 1, , , 4 ];

        var out = inmap( arr, log );
        /* =>
            0: 1
            1: undefined
            2: undefined
            3: 4
        */
        ```

    -   The function provides limited support for dynamic collections (i.e., collections whose `length` changes during execution).

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var isEven = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-even' ).isPrimitive;
var inmap = require( '@stdlib/utils/inmap' );

var bool;
var arr;
var out;
var i;

function scale( value, index, collection ) {
    if ( isEven( index ) ) {
        collection.shift();
    } else {
        collection.push( index+1 );
    }
    return value * index;
}

arr = new Array( 100 );
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
    arr[ i ] = i;
}
out = inmap( arr, scale );

bool = ( out === arr );
console.log( bool );

console.log( out );
```
