For example, to compute the sum of every other element in `x`, 60 61 ```javascript 62 var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' ); 63 var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' ); 64 65 var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] ); 66 var N = floor( x.length / 2 ); 67 68 var v = ssumkbn( N, x, 2 ); 69 // returns 5.0 70 ``` 71 72 Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views. 73 74 <!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments --> 75 76 ```javascript 77 var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' ); 78 var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' ); 79 80 var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] ); 81 var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element 82 83 var N = floor( x0.length / 2 ); 84 85 var v = ssumkbn( N, x1, 2 ); 86 // returns 5.0 87 ``` 88 89 #### ssumkbn.ndarray( N, x, stride, offset ) 90 91 Computes the sum of single-precision floating-point strided array elements using an improved Kahan–Babuška algorithm and alternative indexing semantics. 92 93 ```javascript 94 var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' ); 95 96 var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] ); 97 var N = x.length; 98 99 var v = ssumkbn.ndarray( N, x, 1, 0 ); 100 // returns 1.0 101 ``` 102 103 The function has the following additional parameters: 104 105 - **offset**: starting index for `x`. 106 107 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 calculate the sum of every other value in `x` starting from the second value 108 109 ```javascript 110 var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' ); 111 var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' ); 112 113 var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] ); 114 var N = floor( x.length / 2 ); 115 116 var v = ssumkbn.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1 ); 117 // returns 5.0 118 ``` 119 120 </section> 121 122 <!-- /.usage --> 123 124 <section class="notes"> 125 126 ## Notes 127 128 - If `N <= 0`, both functions return `0.0`. 129 130 </section> 131 132 <!-- /.notes --> 133 134 <section class="examples"> 135 136 ## Examples 137 138 <!-- eslint no-undef: "error" --> 139 140 ```javascript 141 var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' ); 142 var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' ); 143 var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' ); 144 var ssumkbn = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/ssumkbn' ); 145 146 var x; 147 var i; 148 149 x = new Float32Array( 10 ); 150 for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) { 151 x[ i ] = round( randu()*100.0 ); 152 } 153 console.log( x ); 154 155 var v = ssumkbn( x.length, x, 1 ); 156 console.log( v ); 157 ``` 158 159 </section> 160 161 <!-- /.examples --> 162 163 * * * 164 165 <section class="references"> 166 167 ## References 168 169 - Neumaier, Arnold. 1974.
