> Computes an element-wise comparison (less than) of an array.
`` bash`
$ npm install compute-lt
For use in the browser, use browserify.
` javascript`
var lt = require( 'compute-lt' );
#### lt( arr, x[, opts] )
Computes an element-wise comparison (less than) for each input array element. x may either be an array of equal length or a single value (number or string).
The function returns an array with a length equal to that of the input array. Each output array element is either 0 or 1. A value of 1 means that an element is less than a compared value and 0 means that an element is __not__ less than a compared value.
` javascript
var arr = [ 5, 3, 8, 3, 2 ],
out;
// Single comparison value:
out = lt( arr, 4 );
// returns [ 0, 1, 0, 1, 1 ]
// Array of comparison values:
out = lt( arr, [ 6, 2, 6, 7, 3 ] );
// returns [ 1, 0, 0, 1, 1 ]
`
The function accepts the following options:
* __copy__: boolean indicating whether to return a new array. Default: true.function
* __accessor__: accessor for accessing values in object arrays.
To mutate the input array (e.g., when input values can be discarded or when optimizing memory usage), set the copy option to false.
` javascript
var arr = [ 5, 3, 8, 3, 2 ];
var out = lt( arr, 4, {
'copy': false
});
// returns [ 0, 1, 0, 1, 1 ]
console.log( arr === out );
// returns true
`
For object arrays, provide an accessor function for accessing array values.
` javascript
var data = [
['beep', 5],
['boop', 3],
['bip', 8],
['bap', 3],
['baz', 2]
];
function getValue( d, i ) {
return d[ 1 ];
}
var out = lt( data, 4, {
'accessor': getValue
});
// returns [ 0, 1, 0, 1, 1 ]
`
When comparing values between two object arrays, provide an accessor function which accepts 3 arguments.
` javascript
var data = [
['beep', 5],
['boop', 3],
['bip', 8],
['bap', 3],
['baz', 2]
];
var arr = [
{'x': 4},
{'x': 5},
{'x': 6},
{'x': 5},
{'x': 3}
];
function getValue( d, i, j ) {
if ( j === 0 ) {
return d[ 1 ];
}
return d.x;
}
var out = lt( data, arr, {
'accessor': getValue
});
// returns [ 0, 1, 0, 1, 1 ]
`
__Note__: j corresponds to the input array index, where j=0 is the index for the first input array and j=1 is the index for the second (comparison) input array.
` javascript
var lt = require( 'compute-lt' ),
sum = require( 'compute-sum' );
// Simulate some data...
var data = new Array( 100 );
for ( var i = 0; i < data.length; i++ ) {
data[ i ] = Math.round( Math.random()*100 );
}
var out = lt( data, 50 );
// Count the number of values less than 50...
var count = sum( out );
console.log( 'Total: %d', count );

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,
` bash`
$ node ./examples/index.js
Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
` bash`
$ make test
All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
` bash`
$ make test-cov
Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,
` bash``
$ make view-cov
