Multiply a vector
xby a constantalphaand add the result toy.
var saxpy = require( '@stdlib/blas/base/saxpy' );Multiplies a vector x by a constant alpha and adds the result to y.
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
var alpha = 5.0;
saxpy( x.length, alpha, x, 1, y, 1 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 6.0, 11.0, 16.0, 21.0, 26.0 ]The function has the following parameters:
- N: number of indexed elements.
- alpha:
numericconstant. - x: input
Float32Array. - strideX: index increment for
x. - y: output
Float32Array. - strideY: index increment for
y.
The N and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided arrays are accessed at runtime. For example, to multiply every other value in x by alpha and add the result to the first N elements of y in reverse order,
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ] );
var alpha = 5.0;
saxpy( 3, alpha, x, 2, y, -1 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 26.0, 16.0, 6.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use typed array views.
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float32Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

- offsetX: starting index for
x. - offsetY: starting index for
y.
While 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 multiply every other value in x by a constant alpha starting from the second value and add to the last N elements in y where x[i] -> y[n], x[i+2] -> y[n-1],...,
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
