    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>

> Create an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] which iteratively evaluates the [natural logarithm][@stdlib/math/base/special/log1mexp] of `1-exp(-|x|)`.

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/math-iter-special-log1mexp
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var iterLog1mexp = require( '@stdlib/math-iter-special-log1mexp' );
```

#### iterLog1mexp( iterator )

Returns an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] which iteratively evaluates the [natural logarithm][@stdlib/math/base/special/log1mexp] of `1-exp(-|x|)`.

```javascript
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array-to-iterator' );

var it = iterLog1mexp( array2iterator( [ 0.0, 5.0, 10.0 ] ) );
// returns <Object>

var r = it.next().value;
// returns -Infinity

r = it.next().value;
// returns ~-0.00676

r = it.next().value;
// returns ~-0.00005

// ...
```

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

-   **next**: function which returns an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] 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][mdn-iterator-protocol] and returns a single (optional) argument in an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] protocol-compliant object.

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   If an iterated value is non-numeric (including `NaN`), the returned [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] returns `NaN`. If non-numeric iterated values are possible, you are advised to provide an [`iterator`][mdn-iterator-protocol] which type checks and handles non-numeric values accordingly.
-   If an environment supports `Symbol.iterator` **and** a provided [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] is iterable, the returned [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] is iterable.

## Examples

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

```javascript
var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random-iter-uniform' );
var iterLog1mexp = require( '@stdlib/math-iter-special-log1mexp' );

// Create a seeded iterator for generating pseudorandom numbers:
var rand = uniform( 0.0, 1.0, {
    'seed': 1234,
    'iter': 10
});

// Create an iterator which consumes the pseudorandom number iterator:
var it = iterLog1mexp( rand );

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