## Usage

```javascript
var identityf = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/identityf' );
```

#### identityf( x )

Evaluates the [identity function][identity-function] for a single-precision floating-point number.

```javascript
var v = identityf( -1.0 );
// returns -1.0

v = identityf( 2.0 );
// returns 2.0

v = identityf( 0.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = identityf( -0.0 );
// returns -0.0

v = identityf( NaN );
// returns NaN
```

## Examples

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

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var identityf = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/identityf' );

var rand;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    rand = round( randu() * 100.0 ) - 50.0;
    console.log( 'identity(%d) = %d', rand, identityf( rand ) );
}

### Usage

```c
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/identityf.h"
```

#### stdlib_base_identityf( x )

Evaluates the identity function for a single-precision floating-point number.

```c
float y = stdlib_base_identityf( 2.0f );
// returns 2.0f
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **x**: `[in] float` input value.

```c
float stdlib_base_identityf( const float x );
```
