gdot

Calculate the dot product of two one-dimensional ndarrays.

The dot product (or scalar product) is defined as

Installation

npm install @stdlib/blas-base-ndarray-gdot

Usage

var gdot = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-ndarray-gdot' );

gdot( arrays )

Computes the dot product of two one-dimensional ndarrays.

var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-ctor' );

var xbuf = [ 4.0, 2.0, -3.0, 5.0, -1.0 ];
var x = new ndarray( 'generic', xbuf, [ 5 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );

var ybuf = [ 2.0, 6.0, -1.0, -4.0, 8.0 ];
var y = new ndarray( 'generic', ybuf, [ 5 ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );

var z = gdot( [ x, y ] );
// returns -5.0

The function has the following parameters:

• arrays: array-like object containing two one-dimensional input ndarrays.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-base-ctor' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray-to-array' );
var gdot = require( '@stdlib/blas-base-ndarray-gdot' );

var opts = {
    'dtype': 'generic'
};

var xbuf = discreteUniform( 10, 0, 500, opts );
var x = new ndarray( opts.dtype, xbuf, [ xbuf.length ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
console.log( ndarray2array( x ) );

var ybuf = discreteUniform( 10, 0, 255, opts );
var y = new ndarray( opts.dtype, ybuf, [ ybuf.length ], [ 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
console.log( ndarray2array( y ) );

var out = gdot( [ x, y ] );
console.log( out );
