    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>

> Count the number of truthy elements along one or more [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] dimensions.

<section class="intro">

</section>

<!-- /.intro -->

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/ndarray-count-if
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var countIf = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-count-if' );
```

#### countIf( x\[, options], predicate\[, thisArg] )

Counts the number of truthy elements along one or more [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] dimensions.

```javascript
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );

function clbk( value ) {
    return value > 0.0;
}

// Create an input ndarray:
var x = array( [ [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ] ], [ [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ], [ [ 0.0, 6.0 ] ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Perform reduction:
var out = countIf( x, clbk );
// returns <ndarray>[ 5 ]
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **x**: input [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
-   **options**: function options (_optional_).
-   **predicate**: predicate function.
-   **thisArg**: predicate function execution context (_optional_).

The function accepts the following `options`:

-   **dims**: list of dimensions over which to perform a reduction.
-   **keepdims**: boolean indicating whether the reduced dimensions should be included in the returned [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] as singleton dimensions. Default: `false`.

By default, the function performs a reduction over all elements in a provided [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. To reduce specific dimensions, set the `dims` option.

```javascript
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );

function clbk( value ) {
    return value > 0.0;
}

// Create an input ndarray:
var x = array( [ [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ] ], [ [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ], [ [ 0.0, 6.0 ] ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Perform reduction:
var opts = {
    'dims': [ 1, 2 ]
};
var out = countIf( x, opts, clbk );
// returns <ndarray>[ 2, 2, 1 ]
```

By default, the function returns an [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] having a shape matching only the non-reduced dimensions of the input [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] (i.e., the reduced dimensions are dropped). To include the reduced dimensions as singleton dimensions in the output [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor], set the `keepdims` option to `true`.

```javascript
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );

function clbk( value ) {
    return value > 0.0;
}

// Create an input ndarray:
var x = array( [ [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ] ], [ [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ], [ [ 0.0, 6.0 ] ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Perform reduction:
var opts = {
    'dims': [ 1, 2 ],
    'keepdims': true
};
var out = countIf( x, opts, clbk );
// returns <ndarray>[ [ [ 2 ] ], [ [ 2 ] ], [ [ 1 ] ] ]
```

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

<!-- eslint-disable no-invalid-this -->

```javascript
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );

function clbk( value ) {
    this.count += 1;
    return value > 0.0;
}

// Create an input ndarray:
var x = array( [ [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ] ], [ [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ], [ [ 0.0, 6.0 ] ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Create a context object:
var ctx = {
    'count': 0
};

// Perform reduction:
var out = countIf( x, clbk, ctx );
// returns <ndarray>[ 5 ]

var count = ctx.count;
// returns 6
```

#### countIf.assign( x, out\[, options], predicate\[, thisArg] )

Counts the number of truthy elements along one or more [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] dimensions and assigns results to a provided output [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].

```javascript
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var empty = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-empty' );

function clbk( value ) {
    return value > 0.0;
}

// Create an input ndarray:
var x = array( [ [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ] ], [ [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ], [ [ 0.0, 6.0 ] ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Create an output ndarray:
var y = empty( [], {
    'dtype': 'int32'
});

// Perform reduction:
var out = countIf.assign( x, y, clbk );
// returns <ndarray>[ 5 ]

var bool = ( out === y );
// returns true
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **x**: input [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
-   **out**: output [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. The output [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] must have a shape matching the non-reduced dimensions of the input [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor].
-   **options**: function options (_optional_).
-   **predicate**: predicate function.
-   **thisArg**: predicate function execution context (_optional_).

The function accepts the following `options`:

-   **dims**: list of dimensions over which to perform a reduction.

By default, the function performs a reduction over all elements in a provided [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor]. To reduce specific dimensions, set the `dims` option.

```javascript
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
var empty = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-empty' );

function clbk( value ) {
    return value > 0.0;
}

// Create an input ndarray:
var x = array( [ [ [ 1.0, 2.0 ] ], [ [ 3.0, 4.0 ] ], [ [ 0.0, 6.0 ] ] ] );
// returns <ndarray>

// Create an output ndarray:
var y = empty( [ 3 ], {
    'dtype': 'int32'
});

// Perform reduction:
var opts = {
    'dims': [ 1, 2 ]
};
var out = countIf.assign( x, y, opts, clbk );
// returns <ndarray>[ 2, 2, 1 ]

var bool = ( out === y );
// returns true
```

## Notes

-   The predicate function is provided the following arguments:

    -   **value**: current array element.
    -   **indices**: current array element indices.
    -   **arr**: the input ndarray.
