# vDSP_vsma

Calculates the single-precision element-wise addition of the product of a vector and a scalar value, and a vector, using the specified stride.

## Declaration

```occ
extern void vDSP_vsma(const float *__A, vDSP_Stride __IA, const float *__B, const float *__C, vDSP_Stride __IC, float *__D, vDSP_Stride __ID, vDSP_Length __N);
```

## Parameters

- `__A`: The input vector A in D = (A * B) + C.
- `__IA`: The distance between the elements in the input vector A.
- `__B`: The input scalar value B in D = (A * B) + C.
- `__C`: The input vector C in D = (A * B) + C.
- `__IC`: The distance between the elements in the input vector C.
- `__D`: The output vector D in D = (A * B) + C.
- `__ID`: The distance between the elements in the output vector D.
- `__N`: The number of elements that the function processes.

## Discussion

Discussion This function calculates the element-wise product of vector A and scalar value B, adds vector C to the product, and writes the result to vector D, as follows:  for (n = 0; n < N; ++n)     D[n] = A[n] * B + C[n];

The following code shows an example of using this function:
