# vSyax(_:_:_:_:)

Multiplies each element of a vector and stores the results in a second vector.

## Declaration

```swift
func vSyax(_ n: Int32, _ alpha: Float, _ x: UnsafePointer<vFloat>, _ y: UnsafeMutablePointer<vFloat>)
```

## Parameters

- `n`: Number of elements in vectors x and y; must be a multiple of 4.
- `alpha`: Multiplier.
- `x`: Source vector with n elements of type float.
- `y`: Destination vector with n elements of type float.

## Discussion

Discussion Each element of vector x is multiplied by alpha, and stored in the corresponding element of y.
