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!

iterIncrspace

Create an iterator which returns evenly spaced numbers according to a specified increment.

Usage

import iterIncrspace from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/iter-incrspace@deno/mod.js';

iterIncrspace( start, stop[, increment] )

Returns an iterator which returns evenly spaced numbers according to a specified increment.

var it = iterIncrspace( 0, 100 );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 1

v = it.next().value;
// returns 2

// ...

The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:

• next: function which returns an iterator 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 is finished.
• return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.

By default, the iterator returns values incremented by 1. To adjust value spacing, provide an increment argument.

var it = iterIncrspace( 0, 5, 2 );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 2

v = it.next().value;
// returns 4

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

Notes

• The returned iterator is guaranteed to return the start value, but does not include the stop value. Beware, however, that values subsequent to the start value are subject to floating-point rounding errors. For example,

  var it = iterIncrspace( 0.1, 0.9, 0.2 );
  // returns <Object>
  
  var v = it.next().value;
  // returns 0.1
  
  v = it.next().value;
  // returns ~0.3
  
  v = it.next().value;
  // returns 0.5

  If you desire more control over value precision, consider using roundn:

  import roundn from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/math-base-special-roundn@deno/mod.js';
  import iterMap from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/iter-map@deno/mod.js';
  
  function round( v ) {
      return roundn( v, -2 );
  }
  
  // Create an iterator returning values subject to floating-point errors:
  var it1 = iterIncrspace( 0.1, 1.1, 0.2 );
  
  // Create an iterator to round each value to the nearest hundredth:
  var it2 = iterMap( it1, roundn );
  
  // Perform manual iteration...
  var v;
  while ( true ) {
      v = it2.next();
      if ( v.done ) {
          break;
      }
      console.log( v.value );
  }

• If an environment supports Symbol.iterator, the returned iterator is iterable.

Examples

import iterIncrspace from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/iter-incrspace@deno/mod.js';

// Create an iterator which is subject to floating-point rounding errors:
var it = iterIncrspace( 0.0, 1.01, 0.02 );

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( v.done ) {
        break;
    }
    console.log( v.value );
}
