Usage

`javascript
var abs2 = require( '@stdlib/math-strided-special-abs2' );
`

#### abs2( N, dtypeX, x, strideX, dtypeY, y, strideY )

Computes the squared [absolute value][@stdlib/math/base/special/abs] for each element in a strided array x and assigns the results to elements in a strided array y.

`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0 ] );

// Perform operation in-place:
abs2( x.length, 'float64', x, 1, 'float64', x, 1 );
// x => [ 4.0, 1.0, 9.0, 25.0, 16.0 ]
`

The function accepts the following arguments:

- N: number of indexed elements.
- dtypeX: [data type][@stdlib/strided/dtypes] for x.
- x: input array-like object.
- strideX: index increment for x.
- dtypeY: [data type][@stdlib/strided/dtypes] for y.
- y: output array-like object.
- strideY: index increment for y.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in x and y are accessed at runtime. For example, to index every other value in x and the first N elements of y in reverse order,

`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

abs2( 3, 'float64', x, 2, 'float64', y, -1 );
// y => [ 16.0, 9.0, 4.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
`

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [typed array][mdn-typed-array] views.

`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

abs2( 3, 'float64', x1, -2, 'float64', y1, 1 );
// y0 => [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 25.0, 1.0 ]
`

#### abs2.ndarray( N, dtypeX, x, strideX, offsetX, dtypeY, y, strideY, offsetY )

Computes the squared [absolute value][@stdlib/math/base/special/abs] for each element in a strided array x and assigns the results to elements in a strided array y using alternative indexing semantics.

`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

abs2.ndarray( x.length, 'float64', x, 1, 0, 'float64', y, 1, 0 );
// y => [ 4.0, 1.0, 9.0, 25.0, 16.0 ]
`

The function accepts the following additional arguments:

- offsetX: starting index for x.
- offsetY: starting index for y.

While [typed array][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offsetX and offsetY parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to index every other value in x starting from the second value and to index the last N elements in y,

`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

abs2.ndarray( 3, 'float64', x, 2, 1, 'float64', y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 25.0, 1.0 ]
