Create an iterator which iterates over each subarray in a stack of subarrays.
npm install @stdlib/ndarray-iter-subarraysWe 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 which iterates over each subarray in a stack of subarrays.
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/ndarray-iter-subarrays
`javascript`
var nditerSubarrays = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-iter-subarrays' );
#### nditerSubarrays( x, ndims\[, options] )
Returns an iterator which iterates over each subarray in a stack of subarrays.
`javascript
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var x = array( [ [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ], [ [ 5, 6 ], [ 7, 8 ] ] ] );
// returns
var iter = nditerSubarrays( x, 2 );
var v = iter.next().value;
// returns
var arr = ndarray2array( v );
// returns [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ]
v = iter.next().value;
// returns
arr = ndarray2array( v );
// returns [ [ 5, 6 ], [ 7, 8 ] ]
// ...
`
The function accepts the following options:
- readonly: boolean indicating whether returned [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] views should be read-only. In order to return writable [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] views, the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] must be writable. If the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] is read-only, setting this option to false raises an exception. Default: true.
By default, the iterator returns [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] views which are read-only. To return writable [views][@stdlib/ndarray/slice], set the readonly option to false.
`javascript
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var x = array( [ [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ], [ [ 5, 6 ], [ 7, 8 ] ] ] );
// returns
var iter = nditerSubarrays( x, 2, {
'readonly': false
});
var v = iter.next().value;
// returns
var arr = ndarray2array( v );
// returns [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ]
v.set( 0, 0, 10 );
arr = ndarray2array( v );
// returns [ [ 10, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ]
`
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.
- The input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] must have at least ndims+1 dimensions.Symbol.iterator
- If an environment supports , the returned iterator is iterable.ndarray
- A returned iterator does not copy a provided [][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. To ensure iterable reproducibility, copy the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] before creating an iterator. Otherwise, any changes to the contents of input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] will be reflected in the returned iterator.Symbol.iterator
- In environments supporting , the function explicitly does not invoke an ndarray's @@iterator method, regardless of whether this method is defined.
`javascript
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/array-base-zero-to' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var nditerSubarrays = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-iter-subarrays' );
// Define an input array:
var x = array( zeroTo( 27 ), {
'shape': [ 3, 3, 3 ]
});
// Create an iterator for iterating over matrices:
var it = nditerSubarrays( x, 2 );
// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
v = it.next();
if ( v.done ) {
break;
}
console.log( ndarray2array( v.value ) );
}
