sparsearray2iteratorRight

Create an iterator from a sparse array-like object, iterating from right to left.

Usage

var sparsearray2iteratorRight = require( '@stdlib/array/to-sparse-iterator-right' );

sparsearray2iteratorRight( src[, mapFcn[, thisArg]] )

Returns an iterator which iterates from right to left over each element in a sparse array-like object.

var it = sparsearray2iteratorRight( [ 1, , , 4 ] );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 4

v = it.next().value;
// returns 1

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:

  • next: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a value property and a done property having a boolean value indicating whether the iterator is finished.
  • return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.

To invoke a function for each src value, provide a callback function.

function fcn( v ) {
    return v * 10.0;
}

var it = sparsearray2iteratorRight( [ 1, 2, , 4 ], fcn );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 40.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 20.0

// ...

The invoked function is provided three arguments:

  • value: iterated value
  • index: iterated value index
  • src: source array-like object
function fcn( v, i ) {
    return v * (i+1);
}

var it = sparsearray2iteratorRight( [ 1, 2, , 4 ], fcn );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 16

v = it.next().value;
// returns 4

v = it.next().value;
// returns 1

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

function fcn( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return v * 10.0;
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var it = sparsearray2iteratorRight( [ 1, 2, , 4 ], fcn, ctx );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 40.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 20.0

var count = ctx.count;
// returns 2

Notes

  • If an environment supports Symbol.iterator, the returned iterator is iterable.
  • If provided a generic array, the returned iterator ignores holes (i.e., undefined values). To iterate over all generic array elements, use @stdlib/array/to-iterator-right.
  • A returned iterator does not copy a provided array-like object. To ensure iterable reproducibility, copy a provided array-like object before creating an iterator. Otherwise, any changes to the contents of an array-like object will be reflected in the returned iterator.
  • In environments supporting Symbol.iterator, the function explicitly does not invoke an array's @@iterator method, regardless of whether this method is defined. To convert an array to an implementation defined iterator, invoke this method directly.

Examples

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var inmap = require( '@stdlib/utils/inmap' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var sparsearray2iteratorRight = require( '@stdlib/array/to-sparse-iterator-right' );

function scale( v, i ) {
    return v * (i+1);
}

// Create an array partially filled with random numbers:
var arr = new Array( 100 );
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i += 2 ) {
    arr[ i ] = randu();
}

// Create an iterator from the array which scales iterated values:
var it = sparsearray2iteratorRight( arr, scale );

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( v.done ) {
        break;
    }
    console.log( v.value );
}
