## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var gdot = require( '@stdlib/blas/gdot' );
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### gdot( x, y )
|
||
|
|
||
|
Calculates the dot product of vectors `x` and `y`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var Int32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/int32' );
|
||
|
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
|
||
|
|
||
|
var x = array( new Int32Array( [ 4.0, 2.0, -3.0, 5.0, -1.0 ] ) );
|
||
|
var y = array( new Int32Array( [ 2.0, 6.0, -1.0, -4.0, 8.0 ] ) );
|
||
|
|
||
|
var z = gdot( x, y );
|
||
|
// returns -5.0
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The function has the following parameters:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- **x**: a 1-dimensional [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/array] or an array-like object.
|
||
|
- **y**: a 1-dimensional [`ndarray`][@stdlib/ndarray/array] or an array-like object.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If provided empty vectors, the function returns `0.0`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var z = gdot( [], [] );
|
||
|
// returns 0.0
|
||
|
```
|
||

## Notes
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `gdot()` corresponds to the [BLAS][blas] level 1 function [`ddot`][ddot] with the exception that this implementation works with any array type, not just Float64Arrays.
|
||
|
- In general, for best performance, especially for large vectors, provide 1-dimensional [`ndarrays`][@stdlib/ndarray/array] whose underlying data type is either `float64` or `float32`.

## Examples
|

|
|
||
|
<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/discrete-uniform' );
|
||
|
var gdot = require( '@stdlib/blas/gdot' );
|
||
|
|
||
|
var rand1 = discreteUniform.factory( 0, 100 );
|
||
|
var rand2 = discreteUniform.factory( 0, 10 );
|
||
|
|
||
|
var x = [];
|
||
|
var y = [];
|
||
|
var i;
|
||
|
for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
|
||
|
x.push( rand1() );
|
||
|
y.push( rand2() );
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
console.log( x );
|
||
|
console.log( y );
|
||
|
|
||
|
var z = gdot( x, y );
|
||
|
console.log( z );
