Return an index given an index mode.
npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-indWe 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!

> Return an index given an index mode.
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-ind
`javascript`
var ind = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-ind' );
#### ind( idx, max, mode )
Returns an index given an index mode.
`javascript
var idx = ind( 2, 9, 'throw' );
// returns 2
idx = ind( -1, 9, 'throw' );
// throws
idx = ind( 10, 9, 'throw' );
// throws
// Wrapping indices around using modulo arithmetic:
idx = ind( 2, 9, 'wrap' );
// returns 2
idx = ind( 10, 9, 'wrap' );
// returns 0
idx = ind( -1, 9, 'wrap' );
// returns 9
// Clamping indices to first and last indices:
idx = ind( 2, 9, 'clamp' );
// returns 2
idx = ind( 10, 9, 'clamp' );
// returns 9
idx = ind( -1, 9, 'clamp' );
// returns 0
// Normalizing negative indices:
idx = ind( 2, 9, 'normalize' );
// returns 2
idx = ind( -4, 9, 'normalize' );
// returns 6
`
#### ind.factory( mode )
Returns a function for returning an index according to a provided index mode.
`javascript
var fcn = ind.factory( 'clamp' );
var idx = fcn( 2, 9 );
// returns 2
idx = fcn( 10, 9 );
// returns 9
idx = fcn( -1, 9 );
// returns 0
`
The function returns a function accepts the following arguments:
- index: input index.
- max: maximum index value.
- Both functions support the following modes:
- throw: specifies that the function should throw an error when an index is outside the interval [0, max].[-max-1, max]
- normalize: specifies that the function should normalize negative indices and throw an error when an index is outside the interval .0
- wrap: specifies that the function should wrap around an index using modulo arithmetic.
- clamp: specifies that the function should set an index less than to 0 (minimum index) and set an index greater than max to max.
`javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' );
var ind = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-ind' );
var modes;
var mode;
var idx;
var out;
var i;
modes = [ 'clamp', 'wrap' ];
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
idx = discreteUniform( -20, 20 );
mode = modes[ discreteUniform( 0, modes.length-1 ) ];
out = ind( idx, 9, mode );
console.log( '%d => %s(%d,%d) => %d', idx, mode, 0, 9, out );
}
