BooleanArray.

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!

idx = arr.lastIndexOf( true, -3 );
// returns 2

If searchElement is not present in the array, the method returns -1.

var arr = new BooleanArray( 3 );

arr.set( true, 0 );
arr.set( true, 1 );
arr.set( true, 2 );

var idx = arr.lastIndexOf( false );
// returns -1

BooleanArray.prototype.map( callbackFn[, thisArg] )

Returns a new array with each element being the result of a provided callback function.

function invert( v ) {
    return !v;

// returns false

The callback function is provided three arguments:

• value: current array element.
• index: current array element index.
• arr: the array on which this method was called.

To set the function execution context, provide a thisArg.

function invert( v, i ) {
    this.count += i;
    return !v;
}

var arr = new BooleanArray( 3 );

var context = {
    'count': 0
};

arr.set( true, 0 );
arr.set( false, 1 );
arr.set( true, 2 );

var out = arr.map( invert, context );
// returns <BooleanArray>

var count = context.count;
// returns 3;

BooleanArray.prototype.reverse()

Reverses an array in-place.

var v = arr.get( 0 );
// returns false

// Set the first element:
arr.set( true );

// Get the first element:
v = arr.get( 0 );
// returns true

By default, the method sets array elements starting at position (index) i = 0. To set elements starting elsewhere in the array, provide an index argument i.

var arr = new BooleanArray( 10 );

// Get the fifth element:
var v = arr.get( 4 );
// returns false

// Set the fifth element:
arr.set( true, 4 );

// Get the fifth element:
v = arr.get( 4 );
// returns true

In addition to providing a single value, to set one or more array elements, provide an array-like object containing truthy and falsy values

var arr = new BooleanArray( 10 );

// Define an array of values:
var buf = [ '', 1, null ];

// Set the fifth, sixth, and seventh elements:
arr.set( buf, 4 );

// Get the sixth element:
var v = arr.get( 5 );
// returns true

A few notes:

• If i is out-of-bounds, the method throws an error.
• If a target array cannot accommodate all values (i.e., the length of source array plus i exceeds the target array length), the method throws an error.
• If provided a typed array which shares an ArrayBuffer with the target array, the method will intelligently copy the source range to the destination range.

BooleanArray.prototype.slice( [start[, end]] )

Copies a portion of a typed array to a new typed array.

var arr = new BooleanArray( 5 );

arr.set( true, 0 );
arr.set( false, 1 );
arr.set( true, 2 );
arr.set( false, 3 );
arr.set( true, 4 );

var out = arr.slice();
// returns <BooleanArray>

var len = out.length;
// returns 5

var bool = out.get( 0 );
// returns true

bool = out.get( len-1 );
// returns true

By default, the method returns a typed array beginning with the first array element. To specify an alternative array index at which to begin, provide a start index (inclusive).

var arr = new BooleanArray( 5 );

arr.set( true, 0 );
arr.set( false, 1 );
arr.set( true, 2 );
arr.set( false, 3 );
arr.set( true, 4 );

var out = arr.slice( 1 );
// returns <BooleanArray>

var len = out.length;
// returns 4

var bool = out.get( 0 );
// returns false

bool = out.get( len-1 );
// returns true

By default, the method returns a typed array which includes all array elements after start. To limit the number of array elements after start, provide an end index (exclusive).

var arr = new BooleanArray( 5 );

arr.set( true, 0 );
arr.set( false, 1 );
arr.set( true, 2 );
arr.set( false, 3 );
arr.set( true, 4 );

var out = arr.slice( 1, -2 );
// returns <BooleanArray>

var len = out.length;
// returns 2

var bool = out.get( 0 );
// returns false

bool = out.get( len-1 );
// returns true

BooleanArray.prototype.some( predicate[, thisArg] )

function predicate( v ) {
    return v === true;
}

var arr = new BooleanArray( 3 );

arr.set( false, 0 );
arr.set( true, 1 );
arr.set( false, 2 );

var bool = arr.some( predicate );
// returns true

The predicate function is provided three arguments:

• value: current array element.
• index: current array element index.
• arr: the array on which this method was called.

To set the function execution context, provide a thisArg.

function predicate( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return v === true;
}

var arr = new BooleanArray( 3 );

var context = {
    'count': 0
};

arr.set( false, 0 );
arr.set( true, 1 );
arr.set( false, 2 );

var bool = arr.some( predicate, context );
// returns true

var count = context.count;
// returns 2

BooleanArray.prototype.sort( [compareFcn] )

Sorts an array in-place.

function compare( a, b ) {
    if ( a === false ) {
        if ( b === false ) {
            return 0;
        }
        return 1;
    }
    if ( b === true ) {
        return 0;
    }
    return -1;
}

var arr = new BooleanArray( 3 );

arr.set( true, 0 );
arr.set( false, 1 );
arr.set( true, 2 );

arr.sort( compare );

var v = arr.get( 0 );
// returns true

v = arr.get( 1 );
// returns true

v = arr.get( 2 );
// returns false

The compareFcn determines the order of the elements. The function is called with the following arguments:

• a: the first boolean value for comparison.
• b: the second boolean value for comparison.

The function should return a number where:

• a negative value indicates that a should come before b.
• a positive value indicates that a should come after b.
• zero or NaN indicates that a and b are considered equal.

BooleanArray.prototype.subarray( [begin[, end]] )

Creates a new typed array view over the same underlying ArrayBuffer and with the same underlying data type as the host array.

var arr = new BooleanArray( 5 );

arr.set( true, 0 );
arr.set( false, 1 );
arr.set( true, 2 );
arr.set( false, 3 );
arr.set( true, 4 );

var subarr = arr.subarray();
// returns <BooleanArray>

var len = subarr.length;
// returns 5

var bool = subarr.get( 0 );
// returns true

bool = subarr.get( len-1 );
// returns true

By default, the method creates a typed array view beginning with the first array element. To specify an alternative array index at which to begin, provide a begin index (inclusive).

var arr = new BooleanArray( 5 );

arr.set( true, 0 );
arr.set( false, 1 );
arr.set( true, 2 );
arr.set( false, 3 );
arr.set( true, 4 );

var subarr = arr.subarray( 1 );
// returns <BooleanArray>

var len = subarr.length;
// returns 4

var bool = subarr.get( 0 );

By default, the method creates a typed array view which includes all array elements after begin. To limit the number of array elements after begin, provide an end index (exclusive).

var arr = new BooleanArray( 5 );

arr.set( true, 0 );
arr.set( false, 1 );
arr.set( true, 2 );
arr.set( false, 3 );
arr.set( true, 4 );

var subarr = arr.subarray( 1, -2 );
// returns <BooleanArray>

var len = subarr.length;
// returns 2

var bool = subarr.get( 0 );
// returns false

bool = subarr.get( len-1 );

var arr = new BooleanArray( 3 );

arr.set( true, 0 );
arr.set( false, 1 );
arr.set( false, 2 );

var out = arr.toReversed();
// returns <BooleanArray>

var v = out.get( 0 );
// returns false

v = out.get( 1 );
// returns false

v = out.get( 2 );
// returns true

BooleanArray.prototype.toSorted( [compareFcn] )

Returns a new typed array containing the elements in sorted order.

function compare( a, b ) {
    if ( a === false ) {
        if ( b === false ) {
            return 0;
        }
        return 1;
    }
    if ( b === true ) {
        return 0;
    }
    return -1;
}

var arr = new BooleanArray( 3 );

arr.set( true, 0 );
arr.set( false, 1 );
arr.set( true, 2 );

var out = arr.sort( compare );
// returns <BooleanArray>

var v = out.get( 0 );
// returns true

v = out.get( 1 );
// returns true

v = out.get( 2 );
// returns false

The compareFcn determines the order of the elements. The function is called with the following arguments:

• a: the first boolean value for comparison.
• b: the second boolean value for comparison.

The function should return a number where:

• a negative value indicates that a should come before b.
• a positive value indicates that a should come after b.
• zero or NaN indicates that a and b are considered equal.

---

Notes

• While a BooleanArray strives to maintain (but does not guarantee) consistency with typed arrays, significant deviations from ECMAScript-defined typed array behavior are as follows:

  • The constructor does not require the new operator.
  • Accessing array elements using bracket syntax (e.g., X[i]) is not supported. Instead, one must use the .get() method.

Examples

var Uint8Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint8' );
var logEach = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each' );
var BooleanArray = require( '@stdlib/array-bool' );

// Create a boolean array by specifying a length:
var out = new BooleanArray( 3 );
logEach( '%s', out );

// Create a boolean array from an array of booleans:
var arr = [ true, false, true ];
out = new BooleanArray( arr );
logEach( '%s', out );

// Create a boolean array from an array buffer:
arr = new Uint8Array( [ 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1 ] );
out = new BooleanArray( arr.buffer );
logEach( '%s', out );

// Create a boolean array from an array buffer view:
arr = new Uint8Array( [ 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1 ] );
out = new BooleanArray( arr.buffer, 1, 2 );
logEach( '%s', out );

console.log( '%s', false );
