vsMaxMagI(n, a, inca, b, incb, y, incy);

vmsMaxMag (n, a, b, y, mode);

vmsMaxMagI(n, a, inca, b, incb, y, incy, mode);

vdMaxMag (n, a, b, y);

vdMaxMagI(n, a, inca, b, incb, y, incy);

vmdMaxMag (n, a, b, y, mode);

y

float* for vsMaxMag

float* for vmsMaxMag

double* for vdMaxMag

double* for vmdMaxMag

Pointer to an array containing the output vector y.

Description

The v?MaxMag function returns a vector with element values equal to the element with the larger magnitude from each pair of corresponding elements of the two vectors a and b:

  • If |ai| > |bi| v?MaxMag returns ai, otherwise v?MaxMag returns ai.

  • If |bi| > |ai| v?MaxMag returns bi, otherwise v?MaxMag returns ai.

  • Otherwise v?MaxMag behaves like v?Fmax.
