About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.


The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.


When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.


To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

# arrayWith

[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]

> Return a new array with the element at the specified index replaced with a provided value.

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/array-base-with
```

Alternatively,

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

The [branches.md][branches-url] 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

```javascript
var arrayWith = require( '@stdlib/array-base-with' );
```

#### arrayWith( x, index, value )

Returns a new array with the element at the specified index replaced with a provided value.

```javascript
var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var out = arrayWith( x, 0, 5 );
// returns [ 5, 2, 3, 4 ]

out = arrayWith( x, -1, 6 );
// returns [ 1, 2, 3, 6 ]
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

- **x**: an input array.
- **index**: element index.
- **value**: replacement value.

### arrayWith.assign( x, index, value, out, stride, offset )

Copies elements from one array to another array and sets the element at the specified index to a provided value.

```javascript
var x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

var out = [ 0, 0, 0, 0 ];
var arr = arrayWith.assign( x, 0, 5, out, 1, 0 );
// returns [ 5, 2, 3, 4 ]

var bool = ( arr === out );
// returns true
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

- **x**: an input array.
- **index**: element index.
- **value**: replacement value.
- **out**: output array.
- **stride**: output array stride.
- **offset**: output array offset.

## Notes

- If provided an array-like object having a `with` method, the `arrayWith` function defers execution to that method and assumes that the method has the following signature:

```text
x.with( index, value )
```

If provided an array-like object without a `with` method, the `arrayWith` function shallow copies input array data to a new generic array, normalizes a provided index, and sets a specified element.

- Negative indices are resolved relative to the last array element, with the last element corresponding to `-1`.

## Examples

```javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var arrayWith = require( '@stdlib/array-base-with' );

// Define an array:
var opts = {
'dtype': 'generic'
};
var x = discreteUniform( 5, -100, 100, opts );

// Define an array containing random index values:
var indices = discreteUniform( 100, -x.length, x.length-1, opts );

// Define an array with random values to set:
var values = discreteUniform( indices.length, -10000, 10000, opts );

// Randomly set elements in the input array:
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < indices.length; i++ ) {
console.log( 'x = [%s]', arrayWith( x, indices[ i ], values[ i ] ).join( ',' ) );
}
```
