# Incrspace
|
||
|
|
||
|
> Generate a linearly spaced numeric array using a provided increment.

|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var incrspace = require( '@stdlib/array/incrspace' );
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### incrspace( start, stop\[, increment] )
|
||
|
|
||
|
Generates a linearly spaced numeric `array`. If an `increment` is not provided, the default `increment` is `1`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var arr = incrspace( 0, 11, 2 );
|
||
|
// returns [ 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ]
|
||
|
```

### Notes
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The output `array` is guaranteed to include the `start` value but does **not** include the `stop` value. Beware that values subsequent to the `start` value are subject to floating-point errors. Hence,
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var arr = incrspace( 0.1, 0.5, 0.2 );
|
||
|
// returns [ 0.1, ~0.3 ]
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
where `arr[1]` is only guaranteed to be approximately equal to `0.3`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you desire more control over element precision, consider using [roundn][@stdlib/math/base/special/roundn]:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var roundn = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/roundn' );
|
||
|
var arr;
|
||
|
var out;
|
||
|
var i;
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Create an array subject to floating-point errors:
|
||
|
arr = incrspace( 0, 1.01, 0.02 );
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Round each value to the nearest hundredth:
|
||
|
out = [];
|
||
|
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
|
||
|
out.push( roundn( arr[ i ], -2 ) );
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
console.log( out.join( '\n' ) );
|
||
|
```

## Examples

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

|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var incrspace = require( '@stdlib/array/incrspace' );
|
||
|
var out;
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Default behavior:
|
||
|
console.log( '\nDefault:' );
|
||
|
out = incrspace( 0, 10 );
|
||
|
console.log( out.join( '\n' ) );
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Specify increment:
|
||
|
console.log( '\nIncrement 2:' );
|
||
|
out = incrspace( 0, 10, 2 );
|
||
|
console.log( out.join( '\n' ) );
|
||
|
|
||
|
console.log( '\nIncrement 2:' );
|
||
|
out = incrspace( 0, 11, 2 );
|
||
|
console.log( out.join( '\n' ) );
|
||
|
|
||
|
console.log( '\nIncrement 0.02:' );
|
||
|
out = incrspace( 0, 1.01, 0.02 );
|
||
|
console.log( out.join( '\n' ) );
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Create an array using a negative increment:
|
||
|
console.log( '\nDecremented values:' );
|
||
|
out = incrspace( 10, 0, -2 );
|
||
|
console.log( out.join( '\n' ) );
