+# sediff
+
+> Calculate the differences between consecutive elements of a single-precision floating-point strided array.
+
+<section class="usage">
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var sediff = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/sediff' );
+```
+
+<!-- lint disable maximum-heading-length -->
+
+#### sediff( N, x, strideX, N1, prepend, strideP, N2, append, strideA, out, strideOut )
+
+Calculates the differences between consecutive elements of a single-precision floating-point strided array.
+
+```javascript
+var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
+
+var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0 ] );
+var p = new Float32Array( [ 1.0 ] );
+var a = new Float32Array( [ 11.0 ] );
+var out = new Float32Array( 6 );
+
+sediff( x.length, x, 1, 1, p, 1, 1, a, 1, out, 1 );
+
+console.log( out );
+// out => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 11.0 ]
+```
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
+-   **x**: input [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32].
+-   **strideX**: stride length for `x`.
+-   **N1**: number of elements to `prepend`.
+-   **prepend**: a [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32] containing values to prepend after computing differences.
+-   **strideP**: stride length for `prepend`.
+-   **N2**: number of elements to `append`.
+-   **append**: a [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32] containing values to append after computing differences.
+-   **strideA**: stride length for `append`.
+-   **out**: output [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32]. Must have `N + N1 + N2 - 1` elements.
+-   **strideOut**: stride length for `out`.
+
+The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute differences of every other element:
+
+```javascript
+var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
+
+var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0 ] );
+var p = new Float32Array( [ 1.0 ] );
+var a = new Float32Array( [ 11.0 ] );
+var out = new Float32Array( 4 );
+
+sediff( 3, x, 2, 1, p, 1, 1, a, 1, out, 1 );
+
+console.log( out );
+// out => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 4.0, 4.0, 11.0 ]
+```
+
+Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.
+
+```javascript
+var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
+
+// Initial array...
+var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0 ] );
+
+// Create an offset view...
+var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
+
+var p = new Float32Array( [ 1.0 ] );
+var a = new Float32Array( [ 11.0 ] );
+var out = new Float32Array( 5 );
+
+sediff( x1.length, x1, 1, 1, p, 1, 1, a, 1, out, 1 );
+
+console.log( out );
+// out => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 11.0 ]
+```
+
+<!-- lint disable maximum-heading-length -->
+
+#### sediff.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, N1, prepend, strideP, offsetP, N2, append, strideA, offsetA, out, strideOut, offsetOut )
+
+Calculates the differences between consecutive elements of a single-precision floating-point strided array using alternative indexing semantics.
+
+```javascript
+var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
+
+var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0 ] );
+var p = new Float32Array( [ 1.0 ] );
+var a = new Float32Array( [ 11.0 ] );
+var out = new Float32Array( 6 );
+
+sediff.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, 1, p, 1, 0, 1, a, 1, 0, out, 1, 0 );
+
+console.log( out );
+// out => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 11.0 ]
+```
+
+The function has the following additional parameters:
+
+-   **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.
+-   **offsetP**: starting index for `prepend`.
+-   **offsetA**: starting index for `append`.
+-   **offsetOut**: starting index for `out`.
+
+While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to access only the last three elements:
+
+```javascript
+var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
+
+var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0 ] );
+var p = new Float32Array( [ 1.0 ] );
+var a = new Float32Array( [ 11.0 ] );
+var out = new Float32Array( 4 );
+
+sediff.ndarray( 3, x, 1, x.length-3, 1, p, 1, 0, 1, a, 1, 0, out, 1, 0 );
+
+console.log( out );
+// out => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 11.0 ]
+```
