Maximum Typed Array Length

Maximum length for a typed array.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/constants-array-max-typed-array-length

Alternatively,

To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

var MAX_TYPED_ARRAY_LENGTH = require( '@stdlib/constants-array-max-typed-array-length' );

MAX_TYPED_ARRAY_LENGTH

Maximum length for a typed array.

var len = MAX_TYPED_ARRAY_LENGTH;
// returns 9007199254740991

Examples

var ctors = require( '@stdlib/array-ctors' );
var MAX_TYPED_ARRAY_LENGTH = require( '@stdlib/constants-array-max-typed-array-length' );

function fill( dtype, len, value ) {
    var ctor;
    var arr;
    var i;
    if ( len > MAX_TYPED_ARRAY_LENGTH ) {
        throw new RangeError( 'invalid argument. The maximum length for a typed array is '+MAX_TYPED_ARRAY_LENGTH+'.' );
    }
    ctor = ctors( dtype );
    arr = new ctor( len );
    for ( i = 0; i < len; i++ ) {
        arr[ i ] = value;
    }
    return arr;
}

var arr = fill( 'float64', 10, 3.14 );
console.log( arr );

try {
    arr = fill( 'float64', 1e300, 3.14 );
} catch ( err ) {
    console.error( err.message );
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
