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!

snrm2

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Calculate the L2-norm of a single-precision floating-point vector.

The L2-norm is defined as

L2-norm definition.

Usage

import snrm2 from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/blas-base-snrm2@deno/mod.js';

snrm2( N, x, stride )

Computes the L2-norm of a single-precision floating-point vector x.

import Float32Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float32@deno/mod.js';

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );

var z = snrm2( x.length, x, 1 );
// returns 3.0

The function has the following parameters:

  • N: number of indexed elements.
  • x: input Float32Array.
  • stride: index increment for x.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the L2-norm of every other element in x,

import Float32Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float32@deno/mod.js';

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );

var z = snrm2( 4, x, 2 );
// returns 5.0

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.

import Float32Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float32@deno/mod.js';

var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var z = snrm2( 4, x1, 2 );
// returns 5.0

If N is less than or equal to 0, the function returns 0.

snrm2.ndarray( N, x, stride, offset )

Computes the L2-norm of a single-precision floating-point vector using alternative indexing semantics.

import Float32Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float32@deno/mod.js';

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );

var z = snrm2.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 3.0

The function has the following additional parameters:

  • offset: starting index for x.

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 calculate the L2-norm for every other value in x starting from the second value

import Float32Array from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-float32@deno/mod.js';

var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );

var z = snrm2.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 5.0

Notes

  • If N <= 0, both functions return 0.0.
  • snrm2() corresponds to the BLAS level 1 function snrm2.

Examples

import discreteUniform from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/random-array-discrete-uniform@deno/mod.js';
import snrm2 from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/blas-base-snrm2@deno/mod.js';

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'float32'
};
var x = discreteUniform( 10, 0, 100, opts );
console.log( x );

var out = snrm2( x.length, x, 1 );
console.log( out );
