# ndarray

[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url] [![dependencies][dependencies-image]][dependencies-url]

> Multidimensional arrays.

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/ndarray
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var ns = require( '@stdlib/ndarray' );
```

#### ns

ndarray namespace.

```javascript
var o = ns;
// returns {...}
```

The namespace exports the following functions to create multidimensional arrays:

<!-- <toc pattern="+(array|ctor)"> -->

<div class="namespace-toc">

-   <span class="signature">[`array( [buffer,] [options] )`][@stdlib/ndarray/array]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">create a multidimensional array.</span>
-   <span class="signature">[`ndarray( dtype, buffer, shape, strides, offset, order[, options] )`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">multidimensional array constructor.</span>

</div>

<!-- </toc> -->

The namespace contains the following sub-namespaces:

<!-- <toc pattern="base"> -->

<div class="namespace-toc">

-   <span class="signature">[`base`][@stdlib/ndarray/base]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">base ndarray.</span>

</div>

<!-- </toc> -->

In addition, the namespace contaians the following multidimensional array utility functions:

<!-- <toc pattern="*" > -->

<div class="namespace-toc">

-   <span class="signature">[`ndarrayCastingModes()`][@stdlib/ndarray/casting-modes]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">list of ndarray casting modes.</span>
-   <span class="signature">[`ndarrayDataTypes()`][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">list of ndarray data types.</span>
-   <span class="signature">[`ind2sub( shape, idx[, options] )`][@stdlib/ndarray/ind2sub]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">convert a linear index to an array of subscripts.</span>
-   <span class="signature">[`ndarrayIndexModes()`][@stdlib/ndarray/index-modes]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">list of ndarray index modes.</span>
-   <span class="signature">[`ndarrayMinDataType( value )`][@stdlib/ndarray/min-dtype]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">determine the minimum ndarray data type of the closest "kind" necessary for storing a provided scalar value.</span>
-   <span class="signature">[`ndarrayNextDataType( [dtype] )`][@stdlib/ndarray/next-dtype]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">return the next larger ndarray data type of the same kind.</span>
-   <span class="signature">[`ndarrayOrders()`][@stdlib/ndarray/orders]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">list of ndarray orders.</span>
-   <span class="signature">[`ndarrayPromotionRules( [dtype1, dtype2] )`][@stdlib/ndarray/promotion-rules]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">return the ndarray data type with the smallest size and closest "kind" to which ndarray data types can be **safely** cast.</span>
-   <span class="signature">[`ndarraySafeCasts( [dtype] )`][@stdlib/ndarray/safe-casts]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">return a list of ndarray data types to which a provided ndarray data type can be safely cast.</span>
-   <span class="signature">[`ndarraySameKindCasts( [dtype] )`][@stdlib/ndarray/same-kind-casts]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">return a list of ndarray data types to which a provided ndarray data type can be safely cast or cast within the same "kind".</span>
-   <span class="signature">[`sub2ind( shape, ...subscripts[, options] )`][@stdlib/ndarray/sub2ind]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">convert subscripts to a linear index.</span>
