# add(multiplication:multiplication:)

Returns the single-precision element-wise addition of two vector-scalar products.

## Declaration

```swift
static func add<T, U>(multiplication multiplicationAB: (a: T, b: Float), multiplication multiplicationCD: (c: U, d: Float)) -> [Float] where T : AccelerateBuffer, U : AccelerateBuffer, T.Element == Float, U.Element == Float
```

## Parameters

- `multiplicationAB`: A tuple that contains the vector A and the scalar value B in E = (A * B) + (C * D).
- `multiplicationCD`: A tuple that contains the vector C and the scalar value D in E = (A * B) + (C * D).

## Mentioned in

Using vDSP for vector-based arithmetic

## Return Value

Return Value The output vector E in E = (A * B) + (C * D).

## Discussion

Discussion This function calculates the element-wise vector-scalar products of A and B, and C and D, and writes the sum of the products to vector D. for (n = 0; n < N; ++n)     E[n] = A[n]*B + C[n]*D;

The following code shows an example of using this function:     let a: [Float] = [ 1,  2,  3,  4,  5]     let b: Float = 10     let c: [Float] = [ 5,  4,  3,  2,  1]     let d: Float = 50          let e = vDSP.add(multiplication: (a, b),                      multiplication: (c, d))          // Prints "[260.0, 220.0, 180.0, 140.0, 100.0]".     print(e)
