## Usage
46+
47+
```javascript
48+
var dcityblock = require( '@stdlib/stats/strided/distances/dcityblock' );
49+
```
50+
51+
#### dcityblock( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )
52+
53+
Computes the city block (Manhattan) distance between two double-precision floating-point strided arrays.
54+
55+
```javascript
56+
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
57+
58+
var x = new Float64Array( [ 4.0, 2.0, -3.0, 5.0, -1.0 ] );
59+
var y = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 6.0, -1.0, -4.0, 8.0 ] );
60+
61+
var z = dcityblock( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
62+
// returns 26.0
63+
```
64+
65+
The function has the following parameters:
66+
67+
- **N**: number of indexed elements.
68+
- **x**: input [`Float64Array`][@stdlib/array/float64].
69+
- **strideX**: stride length of `x`.
70+
- **y**: input [`Float64Array`][@stdlib/array/float64].
71+
- **strideY**: stride length of `y`.
72+
73+
The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided arrays are accessed at runtime. For example, to calculate the city block (Manhattan) distance between every other element in `x` and the first `N` elements of `y` in reverse order,
74+
75+
```javascript
76+
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
77+
78+
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
79+
var y = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
80+
81+
var z = dcityblock( 3, x, 2, y, -1 );
82+
// returns 6.0
83+
```
84+
85+
Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.
86+
87+
<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->
88+
89+
```javascript
90+
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
91+
92+
// Initial arrays...
93+
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
94+
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );
95+
96+
// Create offset views...
97+
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
98+
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element
99+
100+
var z = dcityblock( 3, x1, 1, y1, 1 );
101+
// returns 24.0
102+
```
103+
104+
#### dcityblock.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )
105+
106+
Computes the city block (Manhattan) distance between two double-precision floating-point strided arrays using alternative indexing semantics.
107+
108+
```javascript
109+
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
110+
111+
var x = new Float64Array( [ 4.0, 2.0, -3.0, 5.0, -1.0 ] );
112+
var y = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 6.0, -1.0, -4.0, 8.0 ] );
113+
114+
var z = dcityblock.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
115+
// returns 26.0
116+
```
117+
118+
The function has the following additional parameters:
119+
120+
- **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.
121+
- **offsetY**: starting index for `y`.
122+
123+
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 calculate the city block (Manhattan) distance between every other element in `x` starting from the second element with the last 3 elements in `y` in reverse order
124+
125+
```javascript
126+
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
127+
128+
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
129+
var y = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );
130+
131+
var z = dcityblock.ndarray( 3, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
132+
// returns 21.0
133+
```
