linspace function

Array linspace(double start, double stop, { int num = 50, bool endpoint = true, })

Return evenly spaced numbers over a specified interval. Returns num evenly spaced samples, calculated over the interval `start`, `stop`.

Parameters

• start : double The starting value of the sequence.
• stop : double The end value of the sequence, unless endpoint is set to False. In that case, the sequence consists of all but the last of num + 1 evenly spaced samples, so that stop is excluded. Note that the step size changes when endpoint is false.
• num : int, optional Number of samples to generate. Default is 50. Must be non-negative.
• endpoint : bool, optional If true, stop is the last sample. Otherwise, it is not included. Default is True.

Returns

samples : Array There are num equally spaced samples in the closed interval [start, stop] or the half-open interval [start, stop) (depending on whether endpoint is True or False).

• createArrayRange : Similar to linspace, but uses a step size (instead of the number of samples).

Examples

import 'package:scidart/src/numdart/numdart.dart';

print(linspace(2.0, 3.0, num: 5));
print(linspace(2.0, 3.0, num: 5, endpoint: false));

/* output:
Array([ 2.  ,  2.25,  2.5 ,  2.75,  3.  ])

Implementation

Array linspace(double start, double stop,
    {int num = 50, bool endpoint = true}) {
  if (num <= 0) {
    throw ('num need be igual or greater than 0');
  }

  double delta;
  if (endpoint) {
    delta = (stop - start) / (num - 1);
  } else {
    delta = (stop - start) / num;
  }

  var space = Array(List<double>.generate(num, (i) => start + delta * i));

  return space;
}
