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!
Compute the sum of absolute values (L1 norm).
The L1 norm is defined as
To use in Observable,
sasum = require( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/blas-base-sasum@umd/browser.js' )
To vendor stdlib functionality and avoid installing dependency trees for Node.js, you can use the UMD server build:
var sasum = require( 'path/to/vendor/umd/blas-base-sasum/index.js' )
To include the bundle in a webpage,
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/blas-base-sasum@umd/browser.js"></script>
If no recognized module system is present, access bundle contents via the global scope:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
window.sasum;
})();
</script>
Computes the sum of absolute values.
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] );
var sum = sasum( x.length, x, 1 );
// returns 19.0
The function has the following parameters:
- N: number of indexed elements.
- x: input
Float32Array
. - stride: index increment.
The N
and stride
parameters determine which elements in x
are used to compute the sum. For example, to sum every other value,
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] );
var sum = sasum( 4, x, 2 );
// returns 10.0
Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array
views.
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
// Initial array:
var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] );
// Create an offset view:
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
// Sum every other value:
var sum = sasum( 3, x1, 2 );
// returns 12.0
If either N
or stride
is less than or equal to 0
, the function returns 0
.
Computes the sum of absolute values using alternative indexing semantics.
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] );
var sum = sasum.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 19.0
The function has the following additional parameters:
- offset: starting index.
While 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 sum the last three elements,
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] );
var sum = sasum.ndarray( 3, x, 1, x.length-3 );
// returns 15.0
// Using a negative stride to sum from the last element:
sum = sasum.ndarray( 3, x, -1, x.length-1 );
// returns 15.0
