     21 # sfill
     22 
     23 > Fill a single-precision floating-point strided array with a specified scalar constant.
     24 
     25 <section class="usage">
     26 
     27 ## Usage
     28 
     29 ```javascript
     30 var sfill = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/sfill' );
     31 ```
     32 
     33 #### sfill( N, alpha, x, stride )
     34 
     35 Fills a single-precision floating-point strided array `x` with a specified scalar constant `alpha`.
     36 
     37 ```javascript
     38 var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
     39 
     40 var x = new Float32Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] );
     41 
     42 sfill( x.length, 5.0, x, 1 );
     43 // x => <Float32Array>[ 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0 ]
     44 ```
     45 
     46 The function has the following parameters:
     47 
     48 -   **N**: number of indexed elements.
     49 -   **alpha**: scalar constant.
     50 -   **x**: input [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32].
     51 -   **stride**: index increment.
     52 
     53 The `N` and `stride` parameters determine which elements in `x` are accessed at runtime. For example, to fill every other element
     54 
     55 ```javascript
     56 var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
     57 var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );
     58 
     59 var x = new Float32Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] );
     60 var N = floor( x.length / 2 );
     61 
     62 sfill( N, 5.0, x, 2 );
     63 // x => <Float32Array>[ 5.0, 1.0, 5.0, -5.0, 5.0, 0.0, 5.0, -3.0 ]
     64 ```
     65 
     66 Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.
     67 
     68 ```javascript
     69 var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
     70 var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );
     71 
     72 // Initial array...
     73 var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] );
     74 
     75 // Create an offset view...
     76 var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
     77 var N = floor( x0.length/2 );
     78 
     79 // Fill every other element...
     80 sfill( N, 5.0, x1, 2 );
     81 // x0 => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 5.0, 3.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0 ]
     82 ```
     83 
     84 #### sfill.ndarray( N, alpha, x, stride, offset )
     85 
     86 Fills a single-precision floating-point strided array `x` with a specified scalar constant `alpha` using alternative indexing semantics.
     87 
     88 ```javascript
     89 var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
     90 
     91 var x = new Float32Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] );
     92 
     93 sfill.ndarray( x.length, 5.0, x, 1, 0 );
     94 // x => <Float32Array>[ 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0 ]
     95 ```
     96 
     97 The function has the following additional parameters:
     98 
     99 -   **offset**: starting index.
    100 
    101 While [`typed array`][mdn-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 access only the last three elements of `x`
    102 
    103 ```javascript
    104 var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
    105 
    106 var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] );
    107 
    108 sfill.ndarray( 3, 5.0, x, 1, x.length-3 );
    109 // x => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0 ]
    110 ```

    118 ## Notes
    119 
    120 -   If `N <= 0`, both functions return `x` unchanged.
