linspace

Creates a 1D array of exactly num evenly spaced values over the closed interval [start, stop]. Unlike arange, both endpoints are included and the number of points is specified directly rather than a step size.

Signatures

inline fun <reified T : Number> Multik.linspace(
    start: Int, stop: Int, num: Int = 50
): D1Array<T>

inline fun <reified T : Number> Multik.linspace(
    start: Double, stop: Double, num: Int = 50
): D1Array<T>

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`start`	`Int` or `Double`	—	Start of the interval (inclusive).
`stop`	`Int` or `Double`	—	End of the interval (inclusive).
`num`	`Int`	`50`	Number of values to generate. Must be > 0.

Returns: D1Array<T> with num evenly spaced values from start to stop inclusive.

Example

val a = mk.linspace<Double>(0, 1, 5)
// [0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0]

val b = mk.linspace<Float>(0.0, 10.0, 3)
// [0.0, 5.0, 10.0]

linspace vs arange

	`linspace`	`arange`
Endpoint	Included (`stop` is the last element)	Excluded (`stop` is not included)
Control	Specify number of points	Specify step size
Precision	Last element guaranteed to equal `stop`	May accumulate floating-point drift
