Usage

`javascript
var gaxpy = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-gaxpy' );
`

#### gaxpy( N, alpha, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Multiplies x by a constant alpha and adds the result to y.

`javascript
var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];
var y = [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ];
var alpha = 5.0;

gaxpy( x.length, alpha, x, 1, y, 1 );
// y => [ 6.0, 11.0, 16.0, 21.0, 26.0 ]
`

The function has the following parameters:

- N: number of indexed elements.
- alpha: numeric constant.
- x: first input array.
- strideX: index increment for x.
- y: second input array.
- strideY: index increment for y.

The N and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided arrays are accessed at runtime. For example, to multiply every other value in x by alpha and add the result to the first N elements of y in reverse order,

`javascript
var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
var y = [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ];

gaxpy( 3, 5.0, x, 2, y, -1 );
// y => [ 26.0, 16.0, 6.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]
`

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [typed array][mdn-typed-array] views.

`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

gaxpy( 3, 5.0, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// y0 => [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 40.0, 31.0, 22.0 ]
`

#### gaxpy.ndarray( N, alpha, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Multiplies x by a constant alpha and adds the result to y using alternative indexing semantics.

`javascript
var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];
var y = [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ];
var alpha = 5.0;

gaxpy.ndarray( x.length, alpha, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// y => [ 6.0, 11.0, 16.0, 21.0, 26.0 ]
`

The function has the following additional parameters:

- offsetX: starting index for x.
- offsetY: starting index for y.

While [typed array][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to multiply every other value in x by a constant alpha starting from the second value and add to the last N elements in y where x[i] -> y[n], x[i+2] -> y[n-1],...,

`javascript
var x = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ];
var y = [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 ];

gaxpy.ndarray( 3, 5.0, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => [ 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 40.0, 31.0, 22.0 ]
