Function subset #
Get or set a subset of a matrix or string.
Syntax #
math.subset(value, index) // retrieve a subset
math.subset(value, index, replacement [, defaultValue]) // replace a subset
Parameters #
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
matrix |
Array | Matrix | string | An array, matrix, or string |
index |
Index | For each dimension of the target, specifies an index or a list of indices to fetch or set. subset uses the cartesian product of the indices specified in each dimension. |
replacement |
* | An array, matrix, or scalar. If provided, the subset is replaced with replacement. If not provided, the subset is returned |
defaultValue |
* | Default value, filled in on new entries when the matrix is resized. If not provided, math.matrix elements will be left undefined. Default value: undefined. |

Examples #
// get a subset
const d = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
math.subset(d, math.index(1, 0)) // returns 3
math.subset(d, math.index([0, 1], 1)) // returns [[2], [4]]
math.subset(d, math.index([false, true], 0)) // returns [[3]]
// replace a subset
const e = []
const f = math.subset(e, math.index(0, [0, 2]), [5, 6]) // f = [[5, 0, 6]]
const g = math.subset(f, math.index(1, 1), 7, 0) // g = [[5, 0, 6], [0, 7, 0]]
math.subset(g, math.index([false, true], 1), 8) // returns [[5, 0, 6], [0, 8, 0]]
// get submatrix using ranges
const M = [
[1,2,3],
[4,5,6],
[7,8,9]
]
math.subset(M, math.index(math.range(0,2), math.range(0,3))) // [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
