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!
# ssortins
[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]
> Sort a single-precision floating-point strided array using insertion sort.
## Installation
```bash
npm install @stdlib/blas-ext-base-ssortins
```
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 ssortins = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-ssortins' );
```
#### ssortins( N, order, x, stride )
Sorts a single-precision floating-point strided array `x` using insertion sort.
```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0 ] );
ssortins( x.length, 1.0, x, 1 );
// x => [ -4.0, -2.0, 1.0, 3.0 ]
```
The function has the following parameters:
- **N**: number of indexed elements.
- **order**: sort order. If `order < 0.0`, the input strided array is sorted in **decreasing** order. If `order > 0.0`, the input strided array is sorted in **increasing** order. If `order == 0.0`, the input strided array is left unchanged.
- **x**: input [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32].
- **stride**: index increment.
The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to sort every other element
```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0 ] );
ssortins( 2, -1.0, x, 2 );
// x => [ 3.0, -2.0, 1.0, -4.0 ]
```
Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.
```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
// Initial array...
var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
// Create an offset view...
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
// Sort every other element...
ssortins( 2, -1.0, x1, 2 );
// x0 => [ 1.0, 4.0, 3.0, 2.0 ]
```
#### ssortins.ndarray( N, order, x, stride, offset )
Sorts a single-precision floating-point strided array `x` using insertion sort and alternative indexing semantics.
```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0 ] );
ssortins.ndarray( x.length, 1.0, x, 1, 0 );
// x => [ -4.0, -2.0, 1.0, 3.0 ]
```
The function has the following additional parameters:
- **offset**: 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 `x`
```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -4.0, 5.0, -6.0 ] );
ssortins.ndarray( 3, 1.0, x, 1, x.length-3 );
// x => [ 1.0, -2.0, 3.0, -6.0, -4.0, 5.0 ]
```
## Notes
- If `N <= 0` or `order == 0.0`, both functions return `x` unchanged.
- The algorithm distinguishes between `-0` and `+0`. When sorted in increasing order, `-0` is sorted before `+0`. When sorted in decreasing order, `-0` is sorted after `+0`.
- The algorithm sorts `NaN` values to the end. When sorted in increasing order, `NaN` values are sorted last. When sorted in decreasing order, `NaN` values are sorted first.
- The algorithm has space complexity `O(1)` and worst case time complexity `O(N^2)`.
- The algorithm is efficient for **small** strided arrays (typically `N <= 20`) and is particularly efficient for sorting strided arrays which are already substantially sorted.
- The algorithm is **stable**, meaning that the algorithm does **not** change the order of strided array elements which are equal or equivalent (e.g., `NaN` values).
- The input strided array is sorted **in-place** (i.e., the input strided array is **mutated**).
## Examples
```javascript
var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var ssortins = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-ssortins' );
var rand;
var sign;
var i;
var x = new Float32Array( 10 );
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
rand = round( randu()*100.0 );
sign = randu();
if ( sign < 0.5 ) {
sign = -1.0;
} else {
sign = 1.0;
}
x[ i ] = sign * rand;
}
console.log( x );
ssortins( x.length, -1.0, x, -1 );
console.log( x );
```
