{{alias}}( fcns, types, data, nargs, nin, nout )
Returns an ndarray function interface which performs multiple dispatch.
An ndarray function interface has the following signature:
f( x, y, ... )
where
- x: ndarray.
- y: ndarray.
- ...: additional ndarrays.
The number of parameters is derived from `nargs`, the number of input
ndarrays is derived from `nin`, and the number of output ndarrays is derived
from `nout`.
Parameters
----------
fcns: Function|ArrayLikeObject<Function>
List of ndarray functions. An ndarray function should have the following
signature:
f( arrays, data )
where
- arrays: array containing input and output ndarrays.
- data: ndarray function data (e.g., a callback).
For convenience, a single ndarray function may be provided which will be
invoked whenever the ndarray argument data types match a sequence of
types in `types`. Providing a single ndarray function is particularly
convenient for the case where, regardless of array data types,
traversing arrays remains the same, but the ndarray function `data`
differs (e.g., callbacks which differ based on the array data types).
types: ArrayLikeObject<string>
One-dimensional list of ndarray argument data types.
data: ArrayLikeObject|null
ndarray function data (e.g., callbacks). If `null`, a returned ndarray
function interface does **not** provide a `data` argument to an invoked
ndarray function.
nargs: integer
Total number of ndarray function interface arguments.
nin: integer
Number of input ndarrays.
nout: integer
Number of output ndarrays.
Returns
-------
fcn: Function
ndarray function interface.
Examples
--------
// Define ndarray argument data types:
> var t = [ 'float64', 'float64', 'float32', 'float32' ];
// Define a list of ndarray function data (callbacks):
> var d = [ {{alias:@stdlib/math/base/special/abs}}, {{alias:@stdlib/math/base/special/absf}} ];
// Create an ndarray function interface for applying unary callbacks:
> var f = {{alias}}( {{alias:@stdlib/ndarray/base/unary}}, t, d, 2, 1, 1 );
// Create an input ndarray:
> var xbuf = new {{alias:@stdlib/array/float64}}( [ -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0 ] );
> var x = {{alias:@stdlib/ndarray/ctor}}( 'float64', xbuf, [ 4 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
// Create an output ndarray:
> var ybuf = new {{alias:@stdlib/array/float64}}( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );
> var y = {{alias:@stdlib/ndarray/ctor}}( 'float64', ybuf, [ 4 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
// Compute the element-wise absolute value:
> f( x, y );
> ybuf
<Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ]
