    About stdlib...
  </summary>
  <p>We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.</p>
  <p>The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.</p>
  <p>When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.</p>
  <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p>

<!-- Package usage documentation. -->

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/array-to-iterator-right
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var array2iteratorRight = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator-right' );
```

#### array2iteratorRight( src\[, mapFcn\[, thisArg]] )

Returns an iterator which iterates from right to left over each element in an array-like `object`.

```javascript
var it = array2iteratorRight( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 4

v = it.next().value;
// returns 3

v = it.next().value;
// returns 2

// ...
```

The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:

-   **next**: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a `value` property and a `done` property having a `boolean` value indicating whether the iterator is finished.
-   **return**: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.

To invoke a function for each `src` value, provide a callback function.

```javascript
function fcn( v ) {
    return v * 10.0;
}

var it = array2iteratorRight( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], fcn );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 40.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 30.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 20.0

// ...
```

The invoked function is provided three arguments:

-   **value**: iterated value.
-   **index**: iterated value index.
-   **src**: source array-like object.

```javascript
function fcn( v, i ) {
    return v * (i+1);
}

var it = array2iteratorRight( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], fcn );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 16

v = it.next().value;
// returns 9

v = it.next().value;
// returns 4

// ...
```

To set the callback function execution context, provide a `thisArg`.

```javascript
function fcn( v ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return v * 10.0;
}

var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

var it = array2iteratorRight( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], fcn, ctx );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 40.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 30.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 20.0

var count = ctx.count;
// returns 3
```

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   If an environment supports `Symbol.iterator`, the returned iterator is iterable.
-   If provided a generic `array`, the returned iterator does **not** ignore holes. To achieve greater performance for sparse arrays, use [`@stdlib/array-to-sparse-iterator-right`][@stdlib/array/to-sparse-iterator-right].
-   A returned iterator does **not** copy a provided array-like `object`. To ensure iterable reproducibility, copy a provided array-like `object` **before** creating an iterator. Otherwise, any changes to the contents of an array-like `object` will be reflected in the returned iterator.
-   In environments supporting `Symbol.iterator`, the function **explicitly** does **not** invoke an array's `@@iterator` method, regardless of whether this method is defined. To convert an array to an implementation defined iterator, invoke this method directly.
-   The returned iterator supports array-like objects having getter and setter accessors for array element access (e.g., [`@stdlib/array-complex64`][@stdlib/array/complex64]).

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var inmap = require( '@stdlib/utils-inmap' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var array2iteratorRight = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator-right' );

function scale( v, i ) {
    return v * (i+1);
}

// Create an array filled with random numbers:
var arr = inmap( new Float64Array( 100 ), randu );

// Create an iterator from the array which scales iterated values:
var it = array2iteratorRight( arr, scale );

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( v.done ) {
        break;
    }
    console.log( v.value );
}
```
