# init(scalars:shape:)

Initialize an ndArray with a copy of some sequence of scalars, stored in the ndArray in row-major order.

## Declaration

```swift
init<Scalar>(scalars: some Sequence, shape: [Int]) where Scalar : BitwiseCopyable
```

## Parameters

- `scalars`: A sequence of scalars to be copied into the new ndArray. Note that Scalar must be a type that corresponds to a scalar type found on the NDArray.ScalarType enum.
- `shape`: The shape of the new ndArray. The ndArray will be stored in row-major order and the scalars will be assigned in row-major order.

## Discussion

Discussion This utility will construct an ndArray with a copy of the contents of some sequence. For example to make an int32 ndArray with increasing values: var ndArray = NDArray(scalars: (0..<4) as Range<Int32>, shape: [2, 2]) // The resulting NDArray has contents: [[0, 1], [2, 3]]
