5 Arguments

1: n – IntegerInput: On entry: $n$ , the number of elements in $x$ .

Constraint: $n \geq 0$ .
2: x[ $\dim$ ] – const IntegerInput: Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least $\max (1, 1 + (n - 1) \times |incx|)$ .
On entry: the vector $x$ . Element $x_{i}$ is stored in $x [(i - 1) \times |incx|]$ , for $i = 1, 2, \dots, n$ .
3: incx – IntegerInput: On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of $x$ .
Constraint: $incx \neq 0$ .
4: fail – NagError *Input/Output: The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_BAD_PARAM: On entry, argument $⟨value⟩$ had an illegal value.
NE_INT: On entry, $incx = ⟨value⟩$ .
Constraint: $incx \neq 0$ .
On entry, $n = ⟨value⟩$ .
Constraint: $n \geq 0$ .

7 Accuracy

The BLAS standard requires accurate implementations which avoid unnecessary over/underflow (see Section 2.7 of Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms Technical (BLAST) Forum (2001)).

8 Parallelism and Performance

Not applicable.

9 Further Comments

None.

10 Example

This example computes the sum of the elements of

x = {(1, 10, 11, - 2, 9)}^{T} .
