     37 ## Usage
     38 
     39 ```javascript
     40 var filledarray = require( '@stdlib/array/filled' );
     41 ```
     42 
     43 #### filledarray( \[dtype] )
     44 
     45 Creates a filled array having a specified data type `dtype`.
     46 
     47 ```javascript
     48 var arr = filledarray();
     49 // returns <Float64Array>
     50 ```
     51 
     52 The function recognizes the following data types:
     53 
     54 -   `float64`: double-precision floating-point numbers (IEEE 754)
     55 -   `float32`: single-precision floating-point numbers (IEEE 754)
     56 -   `int32`: 32-bit two's complement signed integers
     57 -   `uint32`: 32-bit unsigned integers
     58 -   `int16`: 16-bit two's complement signed integers
     59 -   `uint16`: 16-bit unsigned integers
     60 -   `int8`: 8-bit two's complement signed integers
     61 -   `uint8`: 8-bit unsigned integers
     62 -   `uint8c`: 8-bit unsigned integers clamped to `0-255`
     63 -   `generic`: generic JavaScript values
     64 
     65 By default, the output array data type is `float64` (i.e., a [typed array][mdn-typed-array]). To specify an alternative data type, provide a `dtype` argument.
     66 
     67 ```javascript
     68 var arr = filledarray( 'int32' );
     69 // returns <Int32Array>
     70 ```
     71 
     72 #### filledarray( value, length\[, dtype] )
     73 
     74 Returns a filled array having a specified `length`.
     75 
     76 ```javascript
     77 var arr1 = filledarray( 1.0, 5 );
     78 // returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
     79 
     80 var arr2 = filledarray( 1, 5, 'uint8' );
     81 // returns <Uint8Array>[ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 ]
     82 ```
     83 
     84 #### filledarray( value, array\[, dtype] )
     85 
     86 Creates a filled array from another array (or array-like object).
     87 
     88 ```javascript
     89 var arr0 = {
     90     '0': 0.5,
     91     '1': 0.5,
     92     '2': 0.5,
     93     'length': 3
     94 };
     95 
     96 var arr1 = filledarray( 1.0, arr0 );
     97 // returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
     98 
     99 var arr2 = filledarray( 2.0, arr1 );
    100 // returns <Float64Array>[ 2.0, 2.0, 2.0 ]
    101 
    102 var arr3 = filledarray( 3, arr1, 'int32' );
    103 // returns <Int32Array>[ 3, 3, 3 ]
    104 ```
    105 
    106 #### filledarray( value, iterable\[, dtype] )
    107 
    108 Creates a filled array from an iterable.
    109 
    110 ```javascript
    111 var iterConstant = require( '@stdlib/iter/constant' );
    112 
    113 var it = iterConstant( 3.0, {
    114     'iter': 3
    115 });
    116 var arr1 = filledarray( 1.0, it );
    117 // returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
    118 
    119 var arr2 = filledarray( 1.0, it, 'float32' );
    120 // returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
    121 ```
    122 
    123 #### filledarray( value, buffer\[, byteOffset\[, length]]\[, dtype] )
    124 
    125 Returns a filled [typed array][mdn-typed-array] view of an [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer].
    126 
    127 ```javascript
    128 var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array/buffer' );
    129 
    130 var buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
    131 var arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf );
    132 // returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
    133 
    134 buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
    135 arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 'float32' );
    136 // returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
    137 
    138 buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
    139 arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 16 );
    140 // returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 1.0 ]
    141 
    142 buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
    143 arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 16, 'float32' );
    144 // returns <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
    145 
    146 buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
    147 arr = filledarray( 1.0, buf, 16, 1 );
    148 // returns <Float64Array>[ 1.0 ]
    149 
    150 buf = new ArrayBuffer( 32 );
    151 arr = filledarray( 1, buf, 10, 4, 'int16' );
    152 // returns <Int16Array>[ 1, 1, 1, 1 ]
    153 ```
