About stdlib...

We 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!

> Calculate the [range][range] of a strided array.

The [range][range] is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values.

Installation

``bash npm install @stdlib/stats-base-range`

`Usage`

`javascript var range = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-range' );`

#### range( N, x, stride )

Computes the [range][range] of a strided array x.

`javascript var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ]; var N = x.length;

var v = range( N, x, 1 ); // returns 4.0`

The function has the following parameters:

- N: number of indexed elements. - x: input [Array][mdn-array] or [typed array][mdn-typed-array]. - stride: index increment forx.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in x are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the [range][range] of every other element in x,

`javascript var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]; var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = range( N, x, 2 ); // returns 6.0`

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' ); var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] ); var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var N = floor( x0.length / 2 );

var v = range( N, x1, 2 ); // returns 6.0`

#### range.ndarray( N, x, stride, offset )

Computes the [range][range] of a strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

`javascript var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ]; var N = x.length;

var v = range.ndarray( N, x, 1, 0 ); // returns 4.0`

The function has the following additional parameters:

- offset: starting index for x.

While [typed array][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to calculate the [range][range] for every other value in x starting from the second value

`javascript var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

var x = [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ]; var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = range.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1 ); // returns 6.0`

`Notes`

- If N <= 0, both functions return NaN. - Depending on the environment, the typed versions ([drange][@stdlib/stats/base/drange], [srange][@stdlib/stats/base/srange], etc.) are likely to be significantly more performant.

`Examples`

`javascript var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' ); var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' ); var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' ); var range = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-range' );

var x; var i;

x = new Float64Array( 10 ); for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) { x[ i ] = round( (randu()*100.0) - 50.0 ); } console.log( x );

var v = range( x.length, x, 1 ); console.log( v );`
