cumsum
cumulative sum of array elements
Calling Sequence
y=cumsum(x) y=cumsum(x,orientation) y=cumsum(x,outtype) y=cumsum(x,orientation,outtype)
Arguments
- x
an array of reals, complex, booleans, polynomials or rational fractions.
- orientation
This argument can be
either a string with possible values
"*","r","c"or"m"or a number with positive integer value
- outtype
a string with possible values
"native"or"double".- y
scalar or array
Description
For an array x,
y=cumsum(x) returns in the scalar y the
cumulative sum of all the elements of x.
y=cumsum(x,orientation) returns in
y the cumulative sum of x along the
dimension given by orientation:
if
orientationis equal to 1 or "r" then
or

Si
orientationest égal à 2 ou "c" alors:
or

if
orientationis equal to n then
y=cumsum(x,"*")is equivalent toy=cumsum(x)y=cumsum(x,"m")is equivalent toy=cumsum(x,orientation)whereorientationis the index of the first dimension ofxthat is greater than 1. This option is used for Matlab compatibility.
The outtype argument rules the way the summation is done:
For arrays of floats, of polynomials, of rational fractions, the evaluation is always done using floating points computations. The
"double"or"native"options are equivalent.For arrays of integers,
if
outtype="native"the evaluation is done using integer computations (modulo 2^b, where b is the number of bits used),if
outtype="double"the evaluation is done using floating point computations.The default value is
outtype="native".For arrays of booleans,
if
outtype="native"the evaluation is done using boolean computations ( + is replaced by |),if
outtype="double"the evaluation is done using floating point computations (%t values are replaced by 1 and %f values by 0).The default value is
outtype="double".
Remark
This function applies, with identical rules to sparse matrices and hypermatrices.
