# gswap

> Interchange two vectors.

<section class="usage">

## Usage

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

#### gswap( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Interchanges vectors `x` and `y`.

```javascript
var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];
var y = [ 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 ];

gswap( x.length, x, 1, y, 1 );
// x => [ 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 ]
// y => [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **N**: number of values to swap.
-   **x**: first input [`Array`][mdn-array] or [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array].
-   **strideX**: index increment for `x`.
-   **y**: second input [`Array`][mdn-array] or [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array].
-   **strideY**: index increment for `y`.

The `N` and `stride` parameters determine how values from `x` and `y` are accessed at runtime. For example, to swap in reverse order every other value in `x` with the first `N` elements of `y`,

```javascript
var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
var y = [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ];

gswap( 3, x, -2, y, 1 );
// x => [ 9.0, 2.0, 8.0, 4.0, 7.0, 6.0 ]
// y => [ 5.0, 3.0, 1.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ]
```

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' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

// Swap in reverse order every other value from `x1` with `y1`...
gswap( 3, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// x0 => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 12.0, 3.0, 11.0, 5.0, 10.0 ]
// y0 => <Float64Array>[ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]
```

#### gswap.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Interchanges vectors `x` and `y` using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];
var y = [ 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 ];

gswap.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// x => [ 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 ]
// y => [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]
```

The function has the following additional parameters:

-   **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.
-   **offsetY**: starting index for `y`.

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying `buffer`, the `offsetX` and `offsetY` parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to swap every other value in `x` starting from the second value with the last `N` elements in `y` where `x[i] = y[n]`, `x[i+2] = y[n-1]`,...,

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

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

gswap.ndarray( 3, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// x => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 12.0, 3.0, 11.0, 5.0, 10.0 ]
// y => <Float64Array>[ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]
```

## Notes

-   If `N <= 0`, both functions leave `x` and `y` unchanged.
-   `gswap()` corresponds to the [BLAS][blas] level 1 function [`dswap`][dswap] with the exception that this implementation works with any array type, not just Float64Arrays. Depending on the environment, the typed versions ([`dswap`][@stdlib/blas/base/dswap], [`sswap`][@stdlib/blas/base/sswap], etc.) are likely to be significantly more performant.

## 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 gswap = require( '@stdlib/blas/base/gswap' );

var x;
var y;
var i;

x = new Float64Array( 10 );
y = new Float64Array( 10 );
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    x[ i ] = round( randu()*500.0 );
    y[ i ] = round( randu()*255.0 );
}
console.log( x );
console.log( y );

// Swap elements in `x` and `y` starting from the end of `y`:
gswap( x.length, x, 1, y, -1 );
console.log( x );
console.log( y );
```
