Arguments
- N
an integer. Number of elements in input vector(s)
- ALPHA
a real number. The scalar alpha
- Y
a big matrix to scale by ALPHA
- INCY
an integer. Storage spacing between elements of Y.
Examples
if (FALSE) {
set.seed(4669)
A = big.matrix(3, 2, type="double", init=1, dimnames=list(NULL,
c("alpha", "beta")), shared=FALSE)
dscal(ALPHA=2,Y=A)
