Calculate the sum of double-precision floating-point strided array elements using an improved Kahan–Babuška algorithm.
npm install @stdlib/blas-ext-base-dsumkbnWe believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js. The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases. When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there. To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

> Calculate the sum of double-precision floating-point strided array elements using an improved Kahan–Babuška algorithm.
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/blas-ext-base-dsumkbn
`javascript`
var dsumkbn = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-dsumkbn' );
#### dsumkbn( N, x, strideX )
Computes the sum of double-precision floating-point strided array elements using an improved Kahan–Babuška algorithm.
`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var v = dsumkbn( x.length, x, 1 );
// returns 1.0
`
The function has the following parameters:
- N: number of indexed elements.
- x: input [Float64Array][@stdlib/array/float64].x
- strideX: stride length for .
The N and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the sum of every other element:
`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, -7.0, -2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );
var v = dsumkbn( 4, x, 2 );
// returns 5.0
`
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' );
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var v = dsumkbn( 4, x1, 2 );
// returns 5.0
`
#### dsumkbn.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX )
Computes the sum of double-precision floating-point strided array elements using an improved Kahan–Babuška algorithm and alternative indexing semantics.
`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
var v = dsumkbn.ndarray( 3, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 1.0
`
The function has the following additional parameters:
- offsetX: starting index for x.
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 element starting from the second element:
`javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var x = new Float64Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var v = dsumkbn.ndarray( 4, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 5.0
`
- If N <= 0, both functions return 0.0.
`javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var dsumkbn = require( '@stdlib/blas-ext-base-dsumkbn' );
var x = discreteUniform( 10, -100, 100, {
'dtype': 'float64'
});
console.log( x );
var v = dsumkbn( x.length, x, 1 );
console.log( v );
