Apply a function to elements in two input arrays while iterating from right to left and assign the results to an output array.
npm install @stdlib/utils-map2-rightWe 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!

> Apply a function to elements in two input arrays while iterating from right to left and assign the results to an output array.
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/utils-map2-right
`javascript`
var map2Right = require( '@stdlib/utils-map2-right' );
#### map2Right( x, y, fcn\[, thisArg] )
Applies a function to elements in two input arrays while iterating from right to left and assigns the results to a new array.
`javascript
var naryFunction = require( '@stdlib/utils-nary-function' );
var add = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-add' );
var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ];
var y = [ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 ];
var out = map2Right( x, y, naryFunction( add, 2 ) );
// returns [ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]
`
The function accepts both array-like objects and [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]-like objects.
`javascript
var naryFunction = require( '@stdlib/utils-nary-function' );
var add = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-add' );
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var opts = {
'dtype': 'generic'
};
var x = array( [ [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 4, 5, 6 ] ], opts );
var y = array( [ [ 1, 1, 1 ], [ 1, 1, 1 ] ], opts );
var out = map2Right( x, y, naryFunction( add, 2 ) );
// returns
var v = out.get( 1, 1 );
// returns 6
`
The applied function is provided the following arguments:
- v1: element from first input array.
- v2: element from second input array.
- idx: element index.
- arrays: input arrays.
To set the this context when invoking the input function, provide a thisArg.
`javascript
var add = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-add' );
function fcn( v1, v2 ) {
this.count += 1;
return add( v1, v2 );
}
var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ];
var y = [ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 ];
var ctx = {
'count': 0
};
var out = map2Right( x, y, fcn, ctx );
// returns [ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]
var cnt = ctx.count;
// returns 6
`
#### map2Right.assign( x, y, out, fcn\[, thisArg] )
Applies a function to elements in two input arrays while iterating from right to left and assigns the results to an output array out.
`javascript
var naryFunction = require( '@stdlib/utils-nary-function' );
var add = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-add' );
var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ];
var y = [ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 ];
var out = [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ];
map2Right.assign( x, y, out, naryFunction( add, 2 ) );
console.log( out );
// => [ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]
`
The method accepts both array-like objects and [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]-like objects.
`javascript
var naryFunction = require( '@stdlib/utils-nary-function' );
var add = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-add' );
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var opts = {
'dtype': 'generic',
'shape': [ 2, 3 ]
};
var x = array( [ [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 4, 5, 6 ] ], opts );
var y = array( [ [ 1, 1, 1 ], [ 1, 1, 1 ] ], opts );
var out = array( opts );
map2Right.assign( x, y, out, naryFunction( add, 2 ) );
var v = out.get( 1, 1 );
// returns 6
`
Input and output arrays must be either all array-like objects or all [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]-like objects. If input and output arrays are array-like objects, all arrays must have the same number of elements.
If input and output arrays are [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]-like objects, the arrays must be [broadcast compatible][@stdlib/ndarray/base/broadcast-shapes]. To map from one or more input [ndarrays][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] to an output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] which has the same rank (i.e., dimensionality) and the same number of elements, but which is not [broadcast compatible][@stdlib/ndarray/base/broadcast-shapes], reshape the arrays prior to invocation.
`javascript
var naryFunction = require( '@stdlib/utils-nary-function' );
var add = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-add' );
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var opts = {
'dtype': 'generic',
'shape': [ 2, 3 ]
};
var x = array( [ [ 1, 2, 3 ], [ 4, 5, 6 ] ], opts );
var y = array( [ [ 1, 1, 1 ], [ 1, 1, 1 ] ], opts );
opts = {
'dtype': 'generic',
'shape': [ 2, 2, 3 ] // broadcast compatible shape
};
var out = array( opts );
map2Right.assign( x, y, out, naryFunction( add, 2 ) );
var v = out.get( 0, 1, 1 );
// returns 6
v = out.get( 1, 1, 1 );
// returns 6
`
In general, avoid providing output [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]-like objects which are [non-contiguous][@stdlib/ndarray/base/assert/is-contiguous] views containing one or more elements referring to the same memory location. Writing to an overlapping [non-contiguous][@stdlib/ndarray/base/assert/is-contiguous] view is likely to simultaneously affect multiple elements and yield unexpected results.
The applied function is provided the same arguments as with map2Right.
- The map2Right function always returns an output value having a "generic" data type. For example, if provided array-like objects, the function returns a generic array. If provided [ndarrays][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor], the function returns an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] having a "generic" data type.
Accordingly, when provided a typed array, the map2Right function does not return a typed array of the same type. To assign results to a typed array, use the map2Right.assign method.
- Both map2Right and map2Right.assign accept array-like objects exposing getters and setters for array element access (e.g., [Complex64Array][@stdlib/array/complex64], [Complex128Array][@stdlib/array/complex128], etc).
`javascript
var naryFunction = require( '@stdlib/utils-nary-function' );
var Complex64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex64' );
var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-ctor' );
var realf = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-real' );
var imagf = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-imag' );
var add = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-base-add' );
var x = new Complex64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 ] );
var y = new Complex64Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
var z = new Complex64Array( 4 );
map2Right.assign( x, y, z, naryFunction( add, 2 ) );
var v = z.get( 0 );
var re = realf( v );
// returns 2.0
var im = imagf( v );
// returns 3.0
`
- When applying a function to [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]-like objects, performance will be best for [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]-like objects which are single-segment contiguous. For non-contiguous arrays, see [@stdlib/ndarray-base/binary][@stdlib/ndarray/base/binary].
- Both map2Right and map2Right.assign do not skip undefined elements.
`javascript
var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array-filled-by' );
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' ).factory;
var naryFunction = require( '@stdlib/utils-nary-function' );
var add = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-add' );
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var map2Right = require( '@stdlib/utils-map2-right' );
function fill( i ) {
var rand = discreteUniform( -10(i+1), 10(i+1) );
return filledarrayBy( 10, 'generic', rand );
}
// Create two-dimensional ndarrays (i.e., matrices):
var opts = {
'dtype': 'generic',
'flatten': true
};
var x = array( filledarrayBy( 10, opts.dtype, fill ), opts );
var y = array( filledarrayBy( 10, opts.dtype, fill ), opts );
// Create an explicit binary function:
var f = naryFunction( add, 2 );
// Compute element-wise sums...
var z = map2Right( x, y, f );
console.log( 'x:' );
console.log( x.data );
console.log( 'y:' );
console.log( y.data );
console.log( 'z:' );
console.log( z.data );
