<details> <summary> About stdlib... </summary> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p> </details> # rsqrt [![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]  > Compute the [reciprocal square root][@stdlib/math/base/special/rsqrt] for each element in a strided array. <section class="intro"> The reciprocal of the principal [square root][@stdlib/math/base/special/rsqrt] is defined as  <div class="equation" align="center" data-raw-text="\operatorname{rsqrt}(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}" data-equation="eq:reciprocal_square_root"> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/stdlib@aef240872db6f1b5417518bfaa8248004af4ffba/lib/node_modules/@stdlib/math/strided/special/rsqrt/docs/img/equation_reciprocal_square_root.svg" alt="Reciprocal square root"> <br> </div>  </section>  <section class="installation"> ## Installation ```bash npm install @stdlib/math-strided-special-rsqrt ``` </section> <section class="usage"> ## Usage ```javascript var rsqrt = require( '@stdlib/math-strided-special-rsqrt' ); ``` #### rsqrt( N, dtypeX, x, strideX, dtypeY, y, strideY ) Computes the [reciprocal square root][@stdlib/math/base/special/rsqrt] for each element in a strided array `x` and assigns the results to elements in a strided array `y`. ```javascript var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' ); var x = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 4.0, 9.0, 12.0, 24.0 ] ); // Perform operation in-place: rsqrt( x.length, 'float64', x, 1, 'float64', x, 1 ); // x => <Float64Array>[ Infinity, 0.5, ~0.333, ~0.289, ~0.204 ] ``` The function accepts the following arguments: - **N**: number of indexed elements. - **dtypeX**: [data type][@stdlib/strided/dtypes] for `x`. - **x**: input array-like object. - **strideX**: index increment for `x`. - **dtypeY**: [data type][@stdlib/strided/dtypes] for `y`. - **y**: output array-like object. - **strideY**: index increment for `y`. The `N` and `stride` parameters determine which elements in `x` and `y` are accessed at runtime. For example, to index every other value in `x` and the first `N` elements of `y` in reverse order, ```javascript var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' ); var x = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 4.0, 9.0, 12.0, 24.0, 64.0 ] ); var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] ); rsqrt( 3, 'float64', x, 2, 'float64', y, -1 ); // y => <Float64Array>[ ~0.204, ~0.333, Infinity, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] ``` 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' ); // Initial arrays... var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 4.0, 9.0, 12.0, 24.0, 64.0 ] ); var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] ); // Create offset views... var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element rsqrt( 3, 'float64', x1, -2, 'float64', y1, 1 ); // y0 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.125, ~0.289, 0.5 ] ``` #### rsqrt.ndarray( N, dtypeX, x, strideX, offsetX, dtypeY, y, strideY, offsetY ) Computes the [reciprocal square root][@stdlib/math/base/special/rsqrt] for each element in a strided array `x` and assigns the results to elements in a strided array `y` using alternative indexing semantics. ```javascript var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' ); var x = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 4.0, 9.0, 12.0, 24.0 ] ); var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] ); rsqrt.ndarray( x.length, 'float64', x, 1, 0, 'float64', y, 1, 0 ); // y => <Float64Array>[ Infinity, 0.5, ~0.333, ~0.289, ~0.204 ] ``` The function accepts the following additional arguments: - **offsetX**: starting index for `x`. - **offsetY**: starting index for `y`. While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying `buffer`, the `offsetX` and `offsetY` parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to index every other value in `x` starting from the second value and to index the last `N` elements in `y`, ```javascript var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' ); var x = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 4.0, 9.0, 12.0, 24.0, 64.0 ] ); var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] ); rsqrt.ndarray( 3, 'float64', x, 2, 1, 'float64', y, -1, y.length-1 ); // y => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.125, ~0.289, 0.5 ] ``` </section>  <section class="notes"> </section>  <section class="examples"> ## Examples  ```javascript var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-uniform' ).factory; var filledarray = require( '@stdlib/array-filled' ); var filledarrayBy = require( '@stdlib/array-filled-by' ); var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/array-typed-real-float-dtypes' ); var rsqrt = require( '@stdlib/math-strided-special-rsqrt' ); var dt; var x; var y; var i; dt = dtypes(); for ( i = 0; i < dt.length; i++ ) { x = filledarrayBy( 10, dt[ i ], uniform( 0.0, 100.0 ) ); console.log( x ); y = filledarray( 0.0, x.length, 'generic' ); console.log( y ); rsqrt.ndarray( x.length, dt[ i ], x, 1, 0, 'generic', y, -1, y.length-1 ); console.log( y ); console.log( '' ); } ``` </section>   <section class="related"> * * * ## See Also - <span class="package-name">[`@stdlib/math-strided/special/drsqrt`][@stdlib/math/strided/special/drsqrt]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">compute the reciprocal square root for each element in a double-precision floating-point strided array.</span> - <span class="package-name">[`@stdlib/math-strided/special/sqrt`][@stdlib/math/strided/special/sqrt]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">compute the principal square root for each element in a strided array.</span> - <span class="package-name">[`@stdlib/math-strided/special/srsqrt`][@stdlib/math/strided/special/srsqrt]</span><span class="delimiter">: </span><span class="description">compute the reciprocal square root for each element in a single-precision floating-point strided array.</span> </section>   <section class="main-repo" > * * * ## Notice This package is part of [stdlib][stdlib], a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing.
