+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.

+  <p>We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.</p>
+  <p>The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.</p>
+  <p>When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.</p>
+  <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p>

+
+#### broadcastArrayExceptDimensions( arr, shape, dims )
+
+Broadcasts an input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] to a target shape while keeping a list of specified dimensions unchanged.
+
+```javascript
+var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );
+var getShape = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-shape' );
+
+// Create a 2x2 ndarray:
+var x = array( [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ] );
+// returns <ndarray>
+
+// Perform broadcasting:
+var y = broadcastArrayExceptDimensions( x, [ 3, 2, 2 ], [ -1 ] );
+// returns <ndarray>
+
+var ysh = getShape( y );
+// returns [ 3, 2, 2 ]
+```
+
+The function accepts the following arguments:
+
+-   **arr**: input ndarray.
+-   **shape**: target shape.
+-   **dims**: list of dimensions to exclude from broadcasting. Should be a list of negative integers.

+
+## Notes
+
+-   The function throws an error if a provided [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] is [incompatible][@stdlib/ndarray/base/broadcast-shapes] with a provided shape.
+-   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 broadcast an ndarray-like object within internal implementations and to do so with minimal overhead.
+-   The function always returns a new [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] instance even if the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] shape and the desired shape are the same.

For example, given an input ndarray shape `[2,X1,X2]` and a desired shape `[6,7,2,Y1,Y2]`, a list of negative dimensions `[-2,-1]` correctly maps the unchanged dimensions `X` in the input ndarray to ignored dimensions `Y` in the provided target shape. Nonnegative indices, however, afford no such mapping. For example, the list of dimensions `[1,2]` corresponds to `[X1,X2]` in the input ndarray shape, but to `[7,2]` in the target shape, which is not desired. By expecting negative indices, we avoid confusion and ensure that users always refer to dimensions relative to the last broadcasted dimension.\n*\n* @param {ndarray} arr - input array\n* @param {NonNegativeIntegerArray} shape - desired shape\n* @param {NegativeIntegerArray} dims - list of dimensions to exclude from broadcasting\n* @throws {Error} input array cannot have more dimensions than the desired shape\n* @throws {Error} broadcasted dimensions in the input array and desired shape must be broadcast compatible\n* @throws {RangeError} dimension indices must not exceed desired shape bounds\n* @throws {Error} must provide unique dimension indices\n* @returns {ndarray} broadcasted array\n*\n* @example\n* var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-array' );\n* var getShape = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-shape' );\n*\n* var x = array( [ [ 1, 2, 3 ] ] );\n* // returns <ndarray>\n*\n* var shx = getShape( x );\n* // returns [ 1, 3 ]\n*\n* var y = broadcastArrayExceptDimensions( x, [ 2, 2, 3 ], [ -2 ] );\n* // returns <ndarray>\n*\n* var shy = getShape( y );\n* // returns [ 2, 1, 3 ]\n*\n* var v = y.get( 0, 0, 0 );\n* // returns 1\n*\n* v = y.get( 0, 0, 1 );\n* // returns 2\n*\n* v = y.get( 0, 0, 2 );\n* // returns 3\n*\n* v = y.get( 1, 0, 0 );\n* // returns 1\n*\n* v = y.get( 1, 0, 1 );\n* // returns 2\n*\n* v = y.get( 1, 0, 2 );\n* // returns 3\n*/\nfunction broadcastArrayExceptDimensions( arr, shape, dims ) { // eslint-disable-line id-length\n\tvar strides;\n\tvar idx;\n\tvar dim;\n\tvar sh;\n\tvar st;\n\tvar dl;\n\tvar N;\n\tvar M;\n\tvar d;\n\tvar i;\n\tvar j;\n\tvar k;\n\n\t// Copy input arguments to avoid unintended mutation:\n\tshape = copy( shape );\n\tidx = copy( dims );\n\n\t// Resolve the shape of the input array:\n\tsh = getShape( arr, false );\n\n\tN = shape.length;\n\tM = sh.length;\n\tif ( N < M ) {\n\t\tthrow new Error( 'invalid argument.

+* Broadcasts an input ndarray to a target shape while keeping a list of specified dimensions unchanged.
+*
+* ## Notes
+*
+* -   The function expects that each index in the list of dimensions is negative in order to ensure that indices correspond to the same relative position in the output ndarray shape. For example, given an input ndarray shape `[2,X1,X2]` and a desired shape `[6,7,2,Y1,Y2]`, a list of negative dimensions `[-2,-1]` correctly maps the unchanged dimensions `X` in the input ndarray to ignored dimensions `Y` in the provided target shape. Nonnegative indices, however, afford no such mapping. For example, the list of dimensions `[1,2]` corresponds to `[X1,X2]` in the input ndarray shape, but to `[7,2]` in the target shape, which is not desired. By expecting negative indices, we avoid confusion and ensure that users always refer to dimensions relative to the last broadcasted dimension.
+* -   The function throws an error if a provided ndarray is incompatible with a provided shape.
+* -   The returned array is a view on the input array data buffer. The view is typically **not** contiguous. As more than one element of a returned view may refer to the same memory location, writing to the view may affect multiple elements. If you need to write to the returned array, copy the array before performing operations which may mutate elements.
+* -   The returned array is a "base" ndarray, and, thus, the returned array does not perform bounds checking or afford any of the guarantees of the non-base ndarray constructor. The primary intent of this function is to broadcast an ndarray-like object within internal implementations and to do so with minimal overhead.
+* -   The function always returns a new ndarray instance even if the input ndarray shape and the desired shape are the same.
+*
+* @param arr - input array
+* @param shape - desired shape
+* @param dims - list of dimensions to exclude from broadcasting
+* @throws input array cannot have more dimensions than the desired shape
+* @throws broadcasted dimensions in the input array and desired shape must be broadcast compatible
+* @throws dimension indices must not exceed desired shape bounds
+* @throws must provide unique dimension indices
