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 to- y=cumsum(x)
- y=cumsum(x,"m")is equivalent to- y=cumsum(x,orientation)where- orientationis the index of the first dimension of- xthat 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.
