    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>

> Interchange two complex double-precision floating-point vectors.

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/blas-base-wasm-zswap
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var zswap = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-wasm-zswap' );
```

#### zswap.main( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Interchanges two complex double-precision floating-point vectors.

```javascript
var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Complex128Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

zswap.main( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
// x => <Complex128Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
// y => <Complex128Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ]
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **x**: first input [`Complex128Array`][@stdlib/array/complex128].
-   **strideX**: index increment for `x`.
-   **y**: second input [`Complex128Array`][@stdlib/array/complex128].
-   **strideY**: index increment for `y`.

The `N` and stride parameters determine how values from `x` are interchanged with values from `y`. For example, to interchange every other value in `x` with the first `N` elements of `y` in reverse order,

```javascript
var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 ] );
var y = new Complex128Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

zswap.main( 2, x, -2, y, 1 );
// x => <Complex128Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 3.0, 4.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0, 8.0 ]
// y => <Complex128Array>[ 5.0, 6.0, 1.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
```

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.

<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->

```javascript
var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 ] );
var y0 = new Complex128Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Complex128Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Complex128Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*2 ); // start at 3rd element

// Interchange every other value from `x1` into `y1` in reverse order...
zswap.main( 2, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// x0 => <Complex128Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0, 6.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
// y0 => <Complex128Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0, 8.0, 3.0, 4.0 ]
```

#### zswap.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Interchanges two complex double-precision floating-point vectors using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Complex128Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

zswap.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// x => <Complex128Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
// y => <Complex128Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ]
```

The function has the following additional parameters:

-   **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.
-   **offsetY**: starting index for `y`.

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to interchange every other value in `x` starting from the second value into the last `N` elements in `y` where `x[i] = y[n]`, `x[i+2] = y[n-1]`,...,

```javascript
var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex128' );

var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 ] );
var y = new Complex128Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

zswap.ndarray( 2, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// x => <Complex128Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0, 6.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
// y => <Complex128Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0, 8.0, 3.0, 4.0 ]
```

### Module

#### zswap.Module( memory )

Returns a new WebAssembly [module wrapper][@stdlib/wasm/module-wrapper] instance which uses the provided WebAssembly [memory][@stdlib/wasm/memory] instance as its underlying memory.

<!-- eslint-disable node/no-sync -->

```javascript
var Memory = require( '@stdlib/wasm-memory' );

// Create a new memory instance with an initial size of 10 pages (640KiB) and a maximum size of 100 pages (6.4MiB):
var mem = new Memory({
    'initial': 10,
    'maximum': 100
});

// Create a BLAS routine:
var mod = new zswap.Module( mem );
// returns <Module>

// Initialize the routine:
mod.initializeSync();
```

#### zswap.Module.prototype.main( N, xp, sx, yp, sy )

mod.write( xptr, x );

var ybuf = zeros( N*2, 'float64' );
var y = new Complex128Array( ybuf.buffer );

// Read out the results:
var viewX = zeros( N, dtype );
var viewY = zeros( N, dtype );
mod.read( xptr, viewX );
mod.read( yptr, viewY );

console.log( reinterpretComplex128( viewX, 0 ) );

console.log( reinterpretComplex128( viewY, 0 ) );
// => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 ]
```

-   **xp**: first input [`Complex128Array`][@stdlib/array/complex128] pointer (i.e., byte offset).
-   **sx**: index increment for `x`.
-   **yp**: second input [`Complex128Array`][@stdlib/array/complex128] pointer (i.e., byte offset).

## Notes

-   If `N <= 0`, both functions leave `x` and `y` unchanged.
-   This package implements routines using WebAssembly. When provided arrays which are not allocated on a `zswap` module memory instance, data must be explicitly copied to module memory prior to computation. Data movement may entail a performance cost, and, thus, if you are using arrays external to module memory, you should prefer using [`@stdlib/blas-base/zswap`][@stdlib/blas/base/zswap]. However, if working with arrays which are allocated and explicitly managed on module memory, you can achieve better performance when compared to the pure JavaScript implementations found in [`@stdlib/blas/base/zswap`][@stdlib/blas/base/zswap]. Beware that such performance gains may come at the cost of additional complexity when having to perform manual memory management. Choosing between implementations depends heavily on the particular needs and constraints of your application, with no one choice universally better than the other.
-   `zswap()` corresponds to the [BLAS][blas] level 1 function [`zswap`][zswap].

var zswap = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-wasm-zswap' );

// Specify a vector length:
var N = 5;

var xbuf = oneTo( N*2, 'float64' );
var x = new Complex128Array( xbuf.buffer );

var ybuf = zeros( N*2, 'float64' );
var y = new Complex128Array( ybuf.buffer );

// Perform computation:
zswap.ndarray( N, x, 1, 0, y, -1, N-1 );

// Print the results:
console.log( reinterpretComplex128( x, 0 ) );
// => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]

console.log( reinterpretComplex128( y, 0 ) );
