## Usage

```javascript
var ndarraylike2scalar = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/ndarraylike2scalar' );
```

#### ndarraylike2scalar( x )

Converts an ndarray-like object to a scalar value.

```javascript
var scalar2ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/from-scalar' );

var x = scalar2ndarray( 1.0 );
// returns <ndarray>[ 1.0 ]

var out = ndarraylike2scalar( x );
// returns 1.0
```

## Examples

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

```javascript
var scalar2ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/from-scalar' );
var compose = require( '@stdlib/utils/compose' );
var naryFunction = require( '@stdlib/utils/nary-function' );
var oneTo = require( '@stdlib/array/one-to' );
var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console/log-each-map' );
var ndarraylike2scalar = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/ndarraylike2scalar' );

// Create a list of scalars:
var scalars = oneTo( 10 );

// Create a composite function which round-trips a scalar to an ndarray and back:
var f = compose( ndarraylike2scalar, naryFunction( scalar2ndarray, 1 ) );

// Apply the function to the list of scalars:
logEachMap( '%d => %d', scalars, f );
```
