+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var full = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/full' );
+```
+
+#### full( value, dtype, shape, order )
+
+Returns an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] filled with a specified value and having a specified shape and [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes].
+
+```javascript
+var getShape = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/shape' );
+var getDType = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/dtype' );
+
+var arr = full( 10.0, 'float64', [ 2, 2 ], 'row-major' );
+// returns <ndarray>[ [ 10.0, 10.0 ], [ 10.0, 10.0 ] ]
+
+var sh = getShape( arr );
+// returns [ 2, 2 ]
+
+var dt = String( getDType( arr ) );
+// returns 'float64'
+```
+
+This function accepts the following arguments:
+
+-   **value**: scalar fill value.
+-   **dtype**: underlying [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes].
+-   **shape**: array shape.
+-   **order**: specifies whether an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] is `'row-major'` (C-style) or `'column-major'` (Fortran-style).

+
+## Notes
+
+-   If `value` is a number and `x` has a complex [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes], the function fills an output ndarray with a complex number whose real component equals the provided scalar `value` and whose imaginary component is zero.
+-   A `value` must be able to safely cast to the output ndarray [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes]. Scalar values having floating-point data types (both real and complex) are allowed to downcast to a lower precision data type of the same kind (e.g., a scalar double-precision floating-point number can be used to fill a `'float32'` output ndarray).
