VEC_$DSUB_MULT                    Domain/OS                     VEC_$DSUB_MULT


NAME
     vec_$dsub_mult - subtract one single-precision vector from a scalar, mul-
     tiply result by a vector

SYNOPSIS (C)
     #include <apollo/base.h>
     #include <apollo/vec.h>

     void vec_$dsub_mult(
          double *mult_vec,
          double *sub_vec,
          long int &length,
          double &constant,
          double *result_vec)

SYNOPSIS (Pascal)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.pas';
     %include '/sys/ins/vec.ins.pas';

     procedure vec_$dsub_mult(
          in mult_vec: univ vec_$double_vector;
          in sub_vec: univ vec_$double_vector;
          in length: integer32;
          in constant: double;
          out result_vec: univ vec_$double_vector);

SYNOPSIS (FORTRAN)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.ftn'
     %include '/sys/ins/vec.ins.ftn'

           parameter (nvec = 10)

           real*8 mult_vec(nvec), sub_vec(nvec), result_vec(nvec), constant
           integer*4 length

           call vec_$dsub_mult(mult_vec, sub_vec, length, constant, result_vec)

DESCRIPTION
     Vec_$dsub_mult subtracts the vector sub_vec from a scalar constant, mul-
     tiplies the result by the vector mult_vec and stores the final result in
     result_vec.  It differs from vec_$sub_mult in that the vectors being han-
     dled are double-precision floating point.  The calculation performed is
     as follows:

     For each integer I such that 1 <= I <= length,
     result_vec(I) = (constant - sub_vec(I)) x mult_vec(I)

     Note that the multiplication done by this call is point-wise.  This call
     does not perform matrix multiplication, since the product of two vectors
     is another vector of the same magnitude.

     mult_vec
          The vector to be multiplied.

     sub_vec
          The vector to be subtracted from constant.

     length
          The number of elements to be operated on;  normally the same as the
          number of elements in the vectors.

     constant
          The scalar constant from which sub_vec is subtracted.

     result_vec
          The vector created by subtracting sub_vec from constant and multi-
          plying mult_vec by  the result.

NOTES
     When vec_$dsub_mult is used to operate on matrixes in C and Pascal,
     mult_vec, sub_vec, and result_vec are row vectors; in FORTRAN, they are
     column vectors.

     As in all the vec_$ calls, the result array must not overlap any of the
     input arrays; the result array may be identical to an input, but must not
     contain any subset of it.   Because of pipelining, using overlapping
     input and output arrays may cause incorrect results.
