# ind
> Return an index given an index mode.
## Usage
```javascript
var ind = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/ind' );
```
#### ind( idx, max, mode )
Returns an index given an index `mode`.
```javascript
var idx = ind( 2, 9, 'throw' );
// returns 2
idx = ind( -1, 9, 'throw' );
// throws
idx = ind( 10, 9, 'throw' );
// throws
```
The function supports the following `modes`:
- `throw`: specifies that the function should throw an error when an index is outside the interval `[0,max]`.
- `wrap`: specifies that the function should wrap around an index using modulo arithmetic.
- `clamp`: specifies that the function should set an index less than `0` to `0` (minimum index) and set an index greater than `max` to `max`.
```javascript
var idx = ind( 2, 9, 'wrap' );
// returns 2
idx = ind( 10, 9, 'wrap' );
// returns 0
idx = ind( -1, 9, 'wrap' );
// returns 9
idx = ind( 2, 9, 'clamp' );
// returns 2
idx = ind( 10, 9, 'clamp' );
// returns 9
idx = ind( -1, 9, 'clamp' );
// returns 0
```
## Examples
```javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/discrete-uniform' );
var ind = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/ind' );
var modes;
var mode;
var idx;
var out;
var i;
modes = [ 'clamp', 'wrap' ];
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
idx = discreteUniform( -20, 20 );
mode = modes[ discreteUniform( 0, modes.length-1 ) ];
out = ind( idx, 9, mode );
console.log( '%d => %s(%d,%d) => %d', idx, mode, 0, 9, out );
}
```
