lis_array_scale(3)

📦 version 2.1.11, in fedora 43, fedora 44, nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, so lis_array_scale is a function from the Lis Library — and what it does is literally just multiply the vector by the scalar. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's how you pull it into your life, no cap:

#include "lis.h"

LIS_INT lis_array_scale(LIS_INT n, LIS_SCALAR alpha, LIS_SCALAR x[]);

like. look at it. it's giving "short and iconic". 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie it does exactly one thing and it does it flawlessly: multiply vector x by scalar alpha. that's the assignment, and she ATE. 💅

no extra drama, no side quests, just a vector getting scaled. main character energy fr fr. 👑

✨ INPUT ✨

the receipts, aka what you gotta hand over:

  • n — the size of the vector. gotta know how many lil guys we're multiplying, obviously. 🍓
  • alpha — the scalar value alpha. the number doing the multiplying. the moment. 🌟
  • x — the array that stores the vector. this is the queen we're about to transform. 👑

💜 OUTPUT 💜

  • x — the result is alpha * x, and vector x is overwritten 💀. like, she's not coming back the same, bestie. the original values? gone. replaced. glowed up. hope you didn't need them. 🙈

🌈 EXIT STATUS 🌈

here's the vibe check on how it can end:

  • 0 — the process is normally terminated. slay, we love a clean exit. ✅
  • unspecified — an error occurred. 😭 not the error arc. lowkey devastating but okay.
