+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var full = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/full' );
+```
+
+#### full( value, dtype, shape, order )
+
+Creates an [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] having a specified shape, [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes], and filled with a specified value.
+
+```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>
+
+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
+
+-   A `value` must be able to safely cast to the input `dtype`.
+-   If `value` is a real and `dtype` is a complex [data type][@stdlib/ndarray/dtypes], the function returns a filled ndarray with a complex number whose real component equals the provided scalar `value` and whose imaginary component is zero.
