5  Parameters

1:     $\mathrm{N}$ – INTEGERInput

On entry: $n$, the number of elements in $x$ and $y$.

2:     $\mathrm{ALPHA}$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input

On entry: the scalar $\alpha$.

3:     $\mathrm{X}\left(*\right)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput

Note: the dimension of the array X must be at least $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{N}-1\right)\times \left|\mathbf{INCX}\right|\right)$.

On entry: the $n$-element vector $x$.

If $\mathbf{INCX}>0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{X}\left(1+\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)\times \mathbf{INCX}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{N}$.

If $\mathbf{INCX}<0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{X}\left(1-\left(\mathbf{N}-\mathit{i}\right)\times \mathbf{INCX}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{N}$.

Intermediate elements of X are not referenced.

4:     $\mathrm{INCX}$ – INTEGERInput

On entry: the increment in the subscripts of X between successive elements of $x$.

5:     $\mathrm{Y}\left(*\right)$ – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput

Note: the dimension of the array Y must be at least $\max \left(1,1+\left(\mathbf{N}-1\right)\times \left|\mathbf{INCY}\right|\right)$.

On exit: the vector $y$.

If $\mathbf{INCY}>0$, $y_{\mathit{i}}$ will be stored in $\mathbf{Y}\left(1+\left(\mathit{i}-1\right)\times \mathbf{INCY}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{N}$.

If $\mathbf{INCY}<0$, $y_{\mathit{i}}$ will be stored in $\mathbf{Y}\left(1-\left(\mathbf{N}-\mathit{i}\right)\times \mathbf{INCY}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{N}$.

Intermediate elements of Y are unchanged.

6:     $\mathrm{INCY}$ – INTEGERInput

On entry: the increment in the subscripts of Y between successive elements of $y$.
