iterAbs2

Create an iterator which iteratively computes the squared absolute value.

Usage

var iterAbs2 = require( '@stdlib/math/iter/special/abs2' );

iterAbs2( iterator )

Returns an iterator which iteratively computes the squared absolute value.

var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array/to-iterator' );

var it = iterAbs2( array2iterator( [ -1, 2, -3 ] ) );
// returns <Object>

var r = it.next().value;
// returns 1

r = it.next().value;
// returns 4

r = it.next().value;
// returns 9

// ...

The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:

  • next: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a value property and a done property having a boolean value indicating whether the iterator is finished.
  • return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.

Notes

  • If an iterated value is non-numeric (including NaN), the returned iterator returns NaN. If non-numeric iterated values are possible, you are advised to provide an iterator which type checks and handles non-numeric values accordingly.
  • If an environment supports Symbol.iterator and a provided iterator is iterable, the returned iterator is iterable.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/iter/randu' );
var iterAdd = require( '@stdlib/math/iter/ops/add' );
var iterAbs2 = require( '@stdlib/math/iter/special/abs2' );

// Create a seeded iterator for generating pseudorandom numbers:
var rand = randu({
    'seed': 1234,
    'iter': 10
});

// Create an iterator which consumes the pseudorandom number iterator:
var it = iterAbs2( iterAdd( rand, -0.5 ) );

// Perform manual iteration...
var r;
while ( true ) {
    r = it.next();
    if ( r.done ) {
        break;
    }
    console.log( r.value );
}
