Generate a stride array from an array shape.
npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-shape2stridesWe 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!

> Generate a stride array from an array shape.
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/ndarray-base-shape2strides
`javascript`
var shape2strides = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-shape2strides' );
#### shape2strides( shape, order )
Generates a stride array from an array shape.
`javascript`
var strides = shape2strides( [ 3, 2 ], 'row-major' );
// returns [ 2, 1 ]
The order parameter specifies whether an array is row-major (C-style) or column-major (Fortran-style).
`javascript`
var strides = shape2strides( [ 3, 2 ], 'column-major' );
// returns [ 1, 3 ]
#### shape2strides.assign( shape, order, out )
Generates a stride array from an array shape and assigns results to a provided output array.
`javascript
var shape = [ 3, 2 ];
var strides = [ 0, 0 ];
var out = shape2strides.assign( shape, 'row-major', strides );
// returns [ 2, 1 ]
var bool = ( strides === out );
// returns true
`
`javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' );
var shape2strides = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-shape2strides' );
var strides;
var shape;
var i;
shape = [ 0, 0, 0 ];
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
shape[ 0 ] = discreteUniform( 1, 10 );
shape[ 1 ] = discreteUniform( 1, 10 );
shape[ 2 ] = discreteUniform( 1, 10 );
strides = shape2strides( shape, 'row-major' );
console.log( 'shape: %s. strides: %s.', shape.join( 'x' ), strides.join( ', ' ) );
}

`c`
#include "stdlib/ndarray/base/shape2strides.h"
#### stdlib_ndarray_shape2strides( ndims, \shape, order, \out )
Generates a stride array from an array shape.
`c
#include "stdlib/ndarray/orders.h"
int64_t ndims = 3;
int64_t shape[] = { 2, 3, 10 };
int64_t out[ 3 ];
stdlib_ndarray_shape2strides( ndims, shape, STDLIB_NDARRAY_ROW_MAJOR, out );
`
The function accepts the following arguments:
- ndims: [in] int64_t number of dimensions.[in] int64_t*
- shape: array shape (dimensions).[in] enum STDLIB_NDARRAY_ORDER
- order: specifies whether an array is row-major (C-style) or column-major (Fortran-style).[out] int64_t*
- out: output strides array.
`c`
int8_t stdlib_ndarray_shape2strides( int64_t ndims, int64_t shape, enum STDLIB_NDARRAY_ORDER order, int64_t out );
`c
#include "stdlib/ndarray/base/shape2strides.h"
#include "stdlib/ndarray/orders.h"
#include
#include
int main( void ) {
int64_t shape[] = { 2, 3, 10 };
int64_t ndims = 3;
int64_t out[ 3 ];
stdlib_ndarray_shape2strides( ndims, shape, STDLIB_NDARRAY_ROW_MAJOR, out );
int i;
printf( "strides = { " );
for ( i = 0; i < ndims; i++ ) {
printf( "%"PRId64"", out[ i ] );
if ( i < ndims-1 ) {
printf( ", " );
}
}
printf( " }\n" );
}
