sscal(3P)
NAME
sscal - Compute y := alpha ∗ y
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE SSCAL (N, ALPHA, Y, INCY )
void sscal(long int n, float sa, float ∗sx, long int incx)
REAL ALPHA
INTEGER INCY, N
REAL Y( ∗ )
PURPOSE
SSCAL - Compute y := alpha ∗ y where alpha is a scalar and y is an n-vector.
PARAMETERS
N - INTEGER.
On entry, N specifies the number of elements in the vector. N must be at least one for the subroutine to have any visible effect. Unchanged on exit.
ALPHA - REAL.
On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha. Unchanged on exit.
Y - REAL array of DIMENSION at least
( 1 + ( m - 1 )∗abs( INCY ) ). On entry, the incremented array Y must contain the vector y. On exit, Y is overwritten by the updated vector y.
INCY - INTEGER.
On entry, INCY specifies the increment for the elements of Y. INCY must not be zero. Unchanged on exit.
