Create an iterator which performs element-wise division of two or more iterators.
npm install @stdlib/math-iter-ops-divideWe 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!

> Create an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] which performs element-wise division of two or more [iterators][mdn-iterator-protocol].
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/math-iter-ops-divide
`javascript`
var iterDivide = require( '@stdlib/math-iter-ops-divide' );
#### iterDivide( iter0, ...iterator )
Returns an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] which performs element-wise division of two or more [iterators][mdn-iterator-protocol].
`javascript
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var it1 = array2iterator( [ 3.0, 2.0 ] );
var it2 = array2iterator( [ 1.0, 4.0 ] );
var it = iterDivide( it1, it2 );
// returns
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 3.0
v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.5
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
`
The returned [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] protocol-compliant object has the following properties:
- next: function which returns an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a value property and a done property having a boolean value indicating whether the [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] is finished.
- return: function which closes an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] and returns a single (optional) argument in an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] protocol-compliant object.
If provided a numeric value as an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] argument, the value is broadcast as an infinite [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] which always returns the provided value.
`javascript
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );
var arr = array2iterator( [ 1.0, 2.0 ] );
var it = iterDivide( arr, 4.0 );
// returns
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.25
v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.5
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
`
- If an iterated value is non-numeric (including NaN), the returned [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] returns NaN. If non-numeric iterated values are possible, you are advised to provide an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] which type checks and handles non-numeric values accordingly.Symbol.iterator
- The length of the returned [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] is equal to the length of the shortest provided [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol]. In other words, the returned [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] ends once one of the provided [iterators][mdn-iterator-protocol] ends.
- If an environment supports and provided [iterators][mdn-iterator-protocol] are iterable, the returned [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] is iterable.
`javascript
var iterSineWave = require( '@stdlib/simulate-iter-sine-wave' );
var iterDivide = require( '@stdlib/math-iter-ops-divide' );
// Create an iterator which generates a sine wave:
var sine = iterSineWave({
'period': 50,
'offset': 0,
'iter': 100
});
// Create an iterator which scales the sine wave amplitude:
var it = iterDivide( sine, 10.0 );
// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
v = it.next();
if ( v.done ) {
break;
}
console.log( v.value );
}
