# snancount

> Calculate the number of non-`NaN` elements in a single-precision floating-point strided array.

## Usage

```javascript
var snancount = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/snancount' );
```

#### snancount( N, x, strideX )

Computes the number of non-`NaN` elements in a single-precision floating-point strided array.

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ] );

var v = snancount( x.length, x, 1 );
// returns 3
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **x**: input [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32].
-   **strideX**: stride length for `x`.

The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to count every other element in `x`,

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, NaN, -2.0, 4.0, 3.0, NaN, NaN ] );

var v = snancount( 4, x, 2 );
// returns 2
```

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.

<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, NaN, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, NaN, NaN ] );
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var v = snancount( 4, x1, 2 );
// returns 3
```

#### snancount.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX )

Computes the number of non-`NaN` elements in a single-precision floating-point strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, -2.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, NaN, NaN ] );

var v = snancount.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 3
```

The function has the following additional parameter:

-   **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.

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 count every other element in `x` starting from the second element,

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, NaN, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, NaN, NaN ] );

var v = snancount.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 3
```

    if ( bernoulli( 0.8 ) < 1 ) {
        return NaN;
    }
    return uniform( -50.0, 50.0 );

### Usage

```c
#include "stdlib/blas/ext/base/snancount.h"
```

#### stdlib_strided_snancount( N, \*X, strideX )

Computes the number of non-`NaN` elements in a single-precision floating-point strided array.

```c
const float x[] = { 1.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f / 0.0f, 4.0f, 5.0f, 6.0f, 0.0f / 0.0f, 8.0f };

int v = stdlib_strided_snancount( 4, x, 2 );
// returns 2
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **N**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` number of indexed elements.
-   **X**: `[in] float*` input array.
-   **strideX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` stride length for `X`.

```c
CBLAS_INT stdlib_strided_snancount( const CBLAS_INT N, const float *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX );
```

#### stdlib_strided_snancount_ndarray( N, \*X, strideX, offsetX )

Computes the number of non-`NaN` elements in a single-precision floating-point strided array using alternative indexing semantics.

```c
const float x[] = { 2.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f / 0.0f, -2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f, 0.0f / 0.0f, 0.0f / 0.0f };

int v = stdlib_strided_snancount_ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 3
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **N**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` number of indexed elements.
-   **X**: `[in] float*` input array.
-   **strideX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` stride length for `X`.
-   **offsetX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` starting index for `X`.

```c
CBLAS_INT stdlib_strided_snancount_ndarray( const CBLAS_INT N, const float *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX, const CBLAS_INT offsetX );
```
