## Usage ```javascript var reinterpretComplex = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/reinterpret-complex' ); ``` #### reinterpretComplex( x ) Reinterprets a complex-valued floating-point [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] as a real-valued floating-point [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] having the same precision. ```javascript var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/zero-to' ); var x = zeroTo( [ 2, 2 ], { 'dtype': 'complex128' }); // returns [ [ [ 0.0, 0.0 ], [ 1.0, 0.0 ] ], [ [ 0.0, 0.0 ], [ 1.0, 0.0 ] ] ] var out = reinterpretComplex( x ); // returns [ [ [ 0.0, 0.0 ], [ 1.0, 0.0 ] ], [ [ 0.0, 0.0 ], [ 1.0, 0.0 ] ] ] ```

## Notes - The returned [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] is a view on the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] data buffer. - The returned [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] has an additional trailing dimension of size two whose elements correspond to the real and imaginary components, respectively, of each complex-valued element in the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor]. - The returned [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] is a "base" [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor], and, thus, the returned [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] does not perform bounds checking or afford any of the guarantees of the non-base [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] constructor. The primary intent of this function is to reinterpret an ndarray-like object within internal implementations and to do so with minimal overhead.

## Examples ```javascript var zeroTo = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/zero-to' ); var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/to-array' ); var reinterpretComplex = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/reinterpret-complex' ); // Create a double-precision complex floating-point ndarray: var x = zeroTo( [ 2, 2 ], { 'dtype': 'complex128' }); // Reinterpret as a double-precision floating-point ndarray: var out = reinterpretComplex( x ); console.log( ndarray2array( out ) ); ```
