Manipulate typed arrays.
npm install @observablehq/arrayThis library provides methods for operating on columnar data represented as parallel arrays. Most operations involve computing an index—an array of integers, each in [0, length - 1]—and then using the index to derive new columns.

Returns a new array of values from the specified values array according to the specified index array. The returned array is the same type as the specified values array.
``js`
take(["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"], [0, 2, 0, 1]) // ["a", "c", "a", "b"]
Returns a take-like function that, when passed an array of values, returns a new array of values from the specified values array according to the specified index array. The returned array is the same type as the specified values array.
`js`
taker([0, 2, 0, 1])(["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"]) // ["a", "c", "a", "b"]
This method is often used to take multiple arrays simultaneously using array.map.
`js`
letter = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g"]js`
name = ["Ay", "Bee", "Cee", "Dee", "Ee", "Ef", "Gee"]js`
[letter, name].map(taker([2, 1, 0])) // [["c", "b", "a"], ["Cee", "Bee", "Ay"]]

This method is often used to get from multiple arrays simultaneously using array.map.
`js`
letter = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g"]js`
