Wrap a function accepting complex number arguments to support providing both real and complex numbers.
npm install @stdlib/complex-base-wrap-functionWe believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js. The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases. When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there. To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

> Wrap a function accepting complex number arguments to support providing both real and complex numbers.
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/complex-base-wrap-function
`javascript`
var wrap = require( '@stdlib/complex-base-wrap-function' );
#### wrap( fcn, nargs, ctor )
Returns a function which wraps a function accepting complex number arguments to support providing both real and complex numbers.
`javascript
var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-ctor' );
var caddf = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-base-add' );
var f = wrap( caddf, 2, Complex64 );
// returns
`
The function accepts the following arguments:
- fcn: the function to wrap.
- nargs: the number of arguments to be provided to the wrapped function.
- ctor: complex number constructor for converting real numbers to complex numbers.
- The returned function assumes that the wrapped function accepts only complex number input arguments (i.e., every argument must be a complex number).
- The returned function assumes that, if an input argument is non-numeric (i.e., not of type number), then the input argument is a complex number. The returned function does not verify that non-numeric input arguments are, in fact, complex number objects. The returned function passes non-numeric input arguments to the wrapped function without modification.
`javascript
var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-ctor' );
var caddf = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-base-add' );
var wrap = require( '@stdlib/complex-base-wrap-function' );
var f = wrap( caddf, 2, Complex64 );
// ...
var z = f( 3.0, 4.0 );
// returns
console.log( z.toString() );
// => '7 + 0i'
