SIMD.%type%.splat()

The static SIMD.%type%.splat() method creates a new SIMD data type with all lanes set to a given value.

Syntax

SIMD.Float32x4.splat(s)
SIMD.Float64x2.splat(s)

SIMD.Int8x16.splat(s)
SIMD.Int16x8.splat(s)
SIMD.Int32x4.splat(s)

SIMD.Uint8x16.splat(s)
SIMD.Uint16x8.splat(s)
SIMD.Uint32x4.splat(s)

Parameters

s Optional

The value to set all lanes to. This is an integer for int types and a double for float types.

Return value

A new SIMD data type with all lanes set to a given value.

Description

When constructing SIMD data types, multiple arguments for the lane values are expected. The splat function sets a single value for all lanes, allowing you to quickly assemble a new SIMD data type.

If you don't specify a value s, the lanes of int SIMD types will be set to 0, and for float SIMD types the lanes will be set to NaN.

Examples

SIMD.Float32x4.splat(3);
// Float32x4[3,3,3,3]

SIMD.Float64x2.splat(3);
// Float64x2[3,3]

SIMD.Int8x16.splat(3);
// Int8x16[3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3]

SIMD.Int16x8.splat(3);
// Int16x8[3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3]

SIMD.Int32x4.splat(3);
// Int32x4[3,3,3,3]

SIMD.Uint8x16.splat(3); 
// Uint8x16[3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3] 

SIMD.Uint16x8.splat(3); 
// Uint16x8[3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3] 

SIMD.Uint32x4.splat(3); 
// Uint32x4[3,3,3,3]
