| 23 | +> Scale a double-precision complex floating-point vector by a double-precision complex floating-point constant. |
| 24 | +
|
| 25 | +<section class="usage"> |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Usage |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +```javascript |
| 30 | +var zscal = require( '@stdlib/blas/base/wasm/zscal' ); |
| 31 | +``` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +#### zscal.main( N, alpha, x, strideX ) |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Scales values from `x` by `alpha`. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +```javascript |
| 38 | +var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array/complex128' ); |
| 39 | +var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex/float64/ctor' ); |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +// Define a strided array: |
| 42 | +var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] ); |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +// Define a scalar constant: |
| 45 | +var alpha = new Complex128( 2.0, 2.0 ); |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +// Perform operation: |
| 48 | +zscal.main( x.length, alpha, x, 1 ); |
| 49 | +// x => <Complex128Array>[ -2.0, 6.0, -2.0, 14.0, -2.0, 22.0 ] |
| 50 | +``` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +The function has the following parameters: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +- **N**: number of indexed elements. |
| 55 | +- **alpha**: scalar [`Complex128`][@stdlib/complex/float64/ctor] constant. |
| 56 | +- **x**: input [`Complex128Array`][@stdlib/array/complex128]. |
| 57 | +- **strideX**: stride length for `x`. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the input strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to scale every other value in `x` by `alpha`, |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +```javascript |
| 62 | +var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array/complex128' ); |
| 63 | +var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex/float64/ctor' ); |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +// Define a strided array: |
| 66 | +var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] ); |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +// Define a scalar constant: |
| 69 | +var alpha = new Complex128( 2.0, 2.0 ); |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +// Perform operation: |
| 72 | +zscal.main( 2, alpha, x, 2 ); |
| 73 | +// x => <Complex128Array>[ -2.0, 6.0, 3.0, 4.0, -2.0, 22.0 ] |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments --> |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +```javascript |
| 81 | +var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array/complex128' ); |
| 82 | +var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex/float64/ctor' ); |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +// Initial array: |
| 85 | +var x0 = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 ] ); |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +// Define a scalar constant: |
| 88 | +var alpha = new Complex128( 2.0, 2.0 ); |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +// Create an offset view: |
| 91 | +var x1 = new Complex128Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +// Scales every other value from `x1` by `alpha`... |
| 94 | +zscal.main( 3, alpha, x1, 1 ); |
| 95 | +// x0 => <Complex128Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, 14.0, -2.0, 22.0, -2.0, 30.0 ] |
| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +#### zscal.ndarray( N, alpha, x, strideX, offsetX ) |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +Scales values from `x` by `alpha` using alternative indexing semantics. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +```javascript |
| 103 | +var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array/complex128' ); |
| 104 | +var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex/float64/ctor' ); |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +// Define a strided array: |
| 107 | +var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] ); |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +// Define a scalar constant: |
| 110 | +var alpha = new Complex128( 2.0, 2.0 ); |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +// Perform operation: |
| 113 | +zscal.ndarray( x.length, alpha, x, 1, 0 ); |
| 114 | +// x => <Complex128Array>[ -2.0, 6.0, -2.0, 14.0, -2.0, 22.0 ] |
| 115 | +``` |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +The function has the following additional parameters: |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +- **offsetX**: starting index for `x`. |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +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 scale every other value in the input strided array starting from the second element, |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +```javascript |
| 124 | +var Complex128Array = require( '@stdlib/array/complex128' ); |
| 125 | +var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex/float64/ctor' ); |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +var x = new Complex128Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 ] ); |
| 128 | +var alpha = new Complex128( 2.0, 2.0 ); |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +zscal.ndarray( 2, alpha, x, 2, 1 ); |
| 131 | +// x => <Complex128Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, 14.0, 5.0, 6.0, -2.0, 30.0 ] |
| 132 | +``` |

| 302 | +## Notes |
| 303 | + |
| 304 | +- If `N <= 0`, `x` is left unchanged. |
| 305 | +- This package implements routines using WebAssembly. When provided arrays which are not allocated on a `zscal` module memory instance, data must be explicitly copied to module memory prior to computation. Data movement may entail a performance cost, and, thus, if you are using arrays external to module memory, you should prefer using [`@stdlib/blas/base/zscal`][@stdlib/blas/base/zscal]. However, if working with arrays which are allocated and explicitly managed on module memory, you can achieve better performance when compared to the pure JavaScript implementations found in [`@stdlib/blas/base/zscal`][@stdlib/blas/base/zscal]. Beware that such performance gains may come at the cost of additional complexity when having to perform manual memory management. Choosing between implementations depends heavily on the particular needs and constraints of your application, with no one choice universally better than the other. |
| 306 | +- `zscal()` corresponds to the [BLAS][blas] level 1 function [`zscal`][zscal]. |
