+# ndarray2string
+
+> Serialize an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] as a string.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var ndarray2string = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/to-string' );
+```
+
+#### ndarray2string( x )
+
+Serializes an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] as a string.
+
+```javascript
+var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/ctor' );
+
+var buffer = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
+var shape = [ 2, 2 ];
+var order = 'row-major';
+var strides = [ 2, 1 ];
+var offset = 0;
+
+var x = ndarray( 'generic', buffer, shape, strides, offset, order );
+// returns
+
+var str = ndarray2string( x );
+// returns "ndarray( 'generic', [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], [ 2, 2 ], [ 2, 1 ], 0, 'row-major' )"
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Notes
+
+- The function does **not** serialize data outside of the buffer defined by the [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] view.
+- For ndarrays with more than `100` elements, the function abbreviates the data, showing only the first and last three values.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Examples
+
+
+
+```javascript
+var shape2strides = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/shape2strides' );
+var strides2offset = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/strides2offset' );
+var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/discrete-uniform' );
+var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/array/base/zero-to' );
+var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/ctor' );
+var ndarray2string = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/to-string' );
+
+// Create a data buffer:
+var buffer = zeroTo( 27 );
+
+// Specify array meta data:
+var shape = [ 3, 3, 3 ];
+var order = 'column-major';
+var ndims = shape.length;
+
+// Compute array meta data:
+var strides = shape2strides( shape, order );
+var offset = strides2offset( shape, strides );
+
+// Print array information:
+console.log( '' );
+console.log( 'Dims: %s', shape.join( 'x' ) );
+
+// Randomly flip strides and convert an ndarray to a string...
+var arr;
+var i;
+for ( i = 0; i < 20; i++ ) {
+ strides[ discreteUniform( 0, ndims-1 ) ] *= -1;
+ offset = strides2offset( shape, strides );
+
+ console.log( '' );
+ console.log( 'Strides: %s', strides.join( ',' ) );
+ console.log( 'Offset: %d', offset );
+
+ arr = ndarray( 'generic', buffer, shape, strides, offset, order );
+ console.log( ndarray2string( arr ) );
+}
+```
