# isContiguous

> Determine if an array is contiguous.

<!-- Section to include introductory text. Make sure to keep an empty line after the intro `section` element and another before the `/section` close. -->

<section class="intro">

An array is **contiguous** if the memory address of each array element is adjacent to the memory address of the next array element.

<!-- Package usage documentation. -->

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var isContiguous = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/assert/is-contiguous' );
```

#### isContiguous( shape, strides, offset )

Returns a `boolean` indicating if an array is contiguous.

```javascript
var shape = [ 2, 2 ];
var strides = [ 2, 1 ];
var offset = 25;

var bool = isContiguous( shape, strides, offset );
// returns true

shape = [ 10 ];
strides = [ 3 ]; // every third memory element
offset = 0;

bool = isContiguous( shape, strides, offset );
// returns false
```

```javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/discrete-uniform' );
var shape2strides = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/shape2strides' );
var strides2offset = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/strides2offset' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var isContiguous = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/assert/is-contiguous' );

var strides;
var offset;
var shape;
var bool;
var i;
var j;

shape = [ 0, 0, 0 ];

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    // Generate a random array shape:
    shape[ 0 ] = discreteUniform( 1, 10 );
    shape[ 1 ] = discreteUniform( 1, 10 );
    shape[ 2 ] = discreteUniform( 1, 10 );

    // Generate strides:
    if ( randu() < 0.5 ) {
        strides = shape2strides( shape, 'row-major' );
    } else {
        strides = shape2strides( shape, 'column-major' );
    }
    j = discreteUniform( 0, shape.length-1 );
    strides[ j ] *= ( randu() < 0.5 ) ? -1 : 1;

    strides[ 0 ] *= discreteUniform( 1, 2 ); // if scaled by 1, then single segment

    // Compute the index offset:
    offset = strides2offset( shape, strides ) + 25; // include a view offset

    // Determine if the array is contiguous:
    bool = isContiguous( shape, strides, offset );
    console.log( 'Shape: %s. Strides: %s. Offset: %d. Contiguous: %s.', shape.join( 'x' ), strides.join( ',' ), offset, bool );
