+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var gjoin = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/gjoin' );
+```
+
+#### gjoin( N, separator, x, strideX )
+
+Returns a string created by joining strided array elements using a specified separator.
+
+```javascript
+var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ];
+
+var str = gjoin( x.length, ',', x, 1 );
+// returns '1,2,3,4'
+```
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
+-   **separator**: separator.
+-   **x**: input array.
+-   **strideX**: stride length.
+
+The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to join every other element:
+
+```javascript
+var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
+
+var str = gjoin( 3, '-', x, 2 );
+// returns '1-3-5'
+```
+
+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 array...
+var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
+
+// Create an offset view...
+var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
+
+// Join elements...
+var str = gjoin( 3, '|', x1, 2 );
+// returns '2|4|6'
+```
+
+#### gjoin.ndarray( N, separator, x, strideX, offsetX )
+
+Returns a string created by joining strided array elements using a specified separator and alternative indexing semantics.
+
+```javascript
+var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ];
+
+var str = gjoin.ndarray( x.length, ',', x, 1, 0 );
+// returns '1,2,3,4'
+```
+
+The function has the following additional parameters:
+
+-   **offsetX**: starting index.
+
+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 the strided array:
+
+```javascript
+var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
+
+var str = gjoin.ndarray( 3, '|', x, 1, x.length-3 );
+// returns '4|5|6'
+```

+
+## Notes
+
+-   If `N <= 0`, the function returns an empty string.
+-   Both functions support array-like objects having getter and setter accessors for array element access (e.g., [`@stdlib/array/base/accessor`][@stdlib/array/base/accessor]).

+{{alias}}( N, separator, x, strideX )
+    Returns a string created by joining strided array elements using a specified
+    separator.
+
+    The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array
+    are accessed at runtime.
+
+    Indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use a typed
+    array view.
+
+    If `N <= 0`, the function returns an empty string.

+
+    separator: any
+        Separator.
+
+    x: Array|TypedArray
+        Input array.
+
+    strideX: integer

+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    str: string
+        Joined string.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    > var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ];

 ## Notes
 
--   If `N <= 0`, the function returns an empty string.
+-   If `N <= 0`, both functions return an empty string.
+-   If an array element is either `null` or `undefined`, both functions will serialize the element as an empty string.
 -   Both functions support array-like objects having getter and setter accessors for array element access (e.g., [`@stdlib/array/base/accessor`][@stdlib/array/base/accessor]).
