SYNOPSIS

real function snrm2(n,x,incx)

      .. Scalar Arguments ..
      integer,intent(in) :: incx, n
      ..
      .. Array Arguments ..
      real(wp),intent(in) :: x(*)
      ..

DEFINITION

SNRM2 returns the euclidean norm of a vector via the function name, so that

    SNRM2 := sqrt( x’*x ).

OPTIONS

    N

N is INTEGER number of elements in input vector(s)

    X

X is REAL array, dimension ( 1 + ( N - 1 )*abs( INCX ) )

    INCX

INCX is INTEGER, storage spacing between elements of X If INCX > 0, X(1+(i-1)*INCX) = x(i) for 1 <= i <= n If INCX < 0, X(1-(n-i)*INCX) = x(i) for 1 <= i <= n If INCX = 0, x isn’t a vector so there is no need to call this subroutine. If you call it anyway, it will count x(1) in the vector norm N times.
