## Usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var prepend = require( '@stdlib/utils/prepend' );
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### prepend( collection1, collection2 )
|
|
|
|
Adds elements from one `collection` to the beginning of another `collection`. A `collection` may be either an [`Array`][mdn-array], [`Typed Array`][mdn-typed-array], or an array-like [`Object`][mdn-object] (i.e., an [`Object`][mdn-object] having a valid writable `length` property).
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var arr = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];
|
|
|
|
var out = prepend( arr, [ 6.0, 7.0 ] );
|
|
// returns [ 6.0, 7.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]
|
|
|
|
var bool = ( out === arr );
|
|
// returns true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the function returns the extended collection. For [typed arrays][mdn-typed-array], the returned value is a new [typed array][mdn-typed-array] view whose underlying [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer] may **not** equal the underlying [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer] for the input `collection`.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array/buffer' );
|
|
var Float64Array= require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
|
|
|
|
var buf = new ArrayBuffer( 3*8 ); // 8 bytes per double
|
|
|
|
var arr = new Float64Array( buf, 8, 2 );
|
|
arr[ 0 ] = 1.0;
|
|
arr[ 1 ] = 2.0;
|
|
|
|
var out = prepend( arr, [ 3.0 ] );
|
|
// returns <Float64Array>[ 3.0, 1.0, 2.0 ]
|
|
|
|
var bool = ( out === arr );
|
|
// returns false
|
|
|
|
bool = ( out.buffer === arr.buffer );
|
|
// returns true
|
|
|
|
out = prepend( out, [ 4.0 ] );
|
|
// returns <Float64Array>[ 4.0, 3.0, 1.0, 2.0 ]
|
|
|
|
bool = ( out.buffer === arr.buffer );
|
|
// returns false
|
|
```

## Notes
|
|
|
|
- The function adds elements to a [typed array][mdn-typed-array] by setting values in the underlying [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer]. If an [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer] does not have enough bytes in which to store all elements, the function allocates a new [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer] capable of holding `2^n` elements, where `n` is the next power of `2`. This procedure is similar to how environments internally handle dynamic memory allocation for [`Arrays`][mdn-array].
|
|
- Beware when providing [typed arrays][mdn-typed-array] which are views pointing to a shared (or pooled) [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer]. Because the function sets [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer] bytes outside of a provided [view][mdn-typed-array], the function may overwrite bytes belonging to one or more external views. This could be a potential **security vulnerability**. Prefer providing [typed arrays][mdn-typed-array] which have an exclusive [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer]; otherwise, be sure to plan for and guard against mutated state.

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

|
```javascript

|
var Float64Array= require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
|
|
var prepend = require( '@stdlib/utils/prepend' );
|
|
|
|
var arr;
|
|
var i;
|
|
var j;
|
|
|
|
arr = new Float64Array();
|
|
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
|
|
j = i * 3;
|
|
arr = prepend( arr, [ j+2, j+1, j ] );
|
|
}
|
|
console.log( arr );
