# dapxsum

> Add a constant to each double-precision floating-point strided array element and compute the sum.

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var dapxsum = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/dapxsum' );
```

#### dapxsum( N, alpha, x, stride )

Adds a constant to each double-precision floating-point strided array element and computes the sum.

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var N = x.length;

var v = dapxsum( N, 5.0, x, 1 );
// returns 16.0
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **x**: input [`Float64Array`][@stdlib/array/float64].
-   **stride**: index increment for `x`.

The `N` and `stride` parameters determine which elements in `x` are accessed at runtime. For example, to access every other element in `x`,

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = dapxsum( N, 5.0, x, 2 );
// returns 25.0
```

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.

<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );

var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var N = floor( x0.length / 2 );

var v = dapxsum( N, 5.0, x1, 2 );
// returns 25.0
```

#### dapxsum.ndarray( N, alpha, x, stride, offset )

Adds a constant to each double-precision floating-point strided array element and computes the sum using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var N = x.length;

var v = dapxsum.ndarray( N, 5.0, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 16.0
```

The function has the following additional parameters:

-   **offset**: starting index for `x`.

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying `buffer`, the `offset` parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to access every other value in `x` starting from the second value

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = dapxsum.ndarray( N, 5.0, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 25.0
```

## Notes

-   If `N <= 0`, both functions return `0.0`.

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var dapxsum = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/dapxsum' );

var x;
var i;

x = new Float64Array( 10 );
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    x[ i ] = round( randu()*100.0 );
}
console.log( x );

var v = dapxsum( x.length, 5.0, x, 1 );
console.log( v );
```
