## Usage
```javascript
var filledarray = require( '@stdlib/array/filled' );
```
#### filledarray( \[dtype] )
Creates a filled array having a specified data type `dtype`.
```javascript
var arr = filledarray();
// returns <Float64Array>
```
The function recognizes the following data types:
- `float64`: double-precision floating-point numbers (IEEE 754)
- `float32`: single-precision floating-point numbers (IEEE 754)
- `int32`: 32-bit two's complement signed integers
- `uint32`: 32-bit unsigned integers
- `int16`: 16-bit two's complement signed integers
- `uint16`: 16-bit unsigned integers
- `int8`: 8-bit two's complement signed integers
- `uint8`: 8-bit unsigned integers
- `uint8c`: 8-bit unsigned integers clamped to `0-255`
- `generic`: generic JavaScript values
By default, the output array data type is `float64` (i.e., a [typed array][mdn-typed-array]). To specify an alternative data type, provide a `dtype` argument.
```javascript
var arr = filledarray( 'int32' );
// returns <Int32Array>
```
#### filledarray( value, length\[, dtype] )
Returns a filled array having a specified `length`.
```javascript
var arr1 = filledarray( 1.0, 5 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
var arr2 = filledarray( 1, 5, 'uint8' );
// returns <Uint8Array>[ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 ]
```
#### filledarray( value, array\[, dtype] )
Creates a filled array from another array (or array-like object).
```javascript
var arr0 = {
'0': 0.5,
'1': 0.5,
'2': 0.5,
'length': 3
};
var arr1 = filledarray( 1.0, arr0 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
var arr2 = filledarray( 2.0, arr1 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 2.0, 2.0, 2.0 ]
var arr3 = filledarray( 3, arr1, 'int32' );
// returns <Int32Array>[ 3, 3, 3 ]
```
#### filledarray( value, iterable\[, dtype] )
Creates a filled array from an iterable.
```javascript
var iterConstant = require( '@stdlib/iter/constant' );
var it = iterConstant( 3.0, {
'iter': 3
});
var arr1 = filledarray( 1.0, it );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
var arr2 = filledarray( 1.0, it, 'float32' );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
```
#### filledarray( value, buffer\[, byteOffset\[, length]]\[, dtype] )
Returns a filled [typed array][mdn-typed-array] view of an [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer].
```javascript
var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array/buffer' );
var buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
var arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 'float32' );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 16 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0 ]
buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 16, 'float32' );
// returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 16, 1 );
// returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0 ]
buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
arr = filledarray( 1, buf, 10, 4, 'int16' );
// returns <Int16Array>[ 1, 1, 1, 1 ]
```
