# snansum

> Calculate the sum of single-precision floating-point strided array elements, ignoring `NaN` values.

<section class="intro">

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var snansum = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/snansum' );
```

#### snansum( N, x, stride )

Computes the sum of single-precision floating-point strided array elements, ignoring `NaN` values.

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ] );
var N = x.length;

var v = snansum( N, x, 1 );
// returns 1.0
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **x**: input [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32].
-   **stride**: index increment for `x`.

The `N` and `stride` parameters determine which elements in `x` are accessed at runtime. For example, to compute the sum of every other element in `x`,

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, NaN, -7.0, NaN, 3.0, 4.0, 2.0 ] );
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = snansum( N, x, 2 );
// returns 5.0
```

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.

<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );

var x0 = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, NaN, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var N = floor( x0.length / 2 );

var v = snansum( N, x1, 2 );
// returns 5.0
```

#### snansum.ndarray( N, x, stride, offset )

Computes the sum of single-precision floating-point strided array elements, ignoring `NaN` values and using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, NaN, 2.0 ] );
var N = x.length;

var v = snansum.ndarray( N, x, 1, 0 );
// returns 1.0
```

The function has the following additional parameters:

-   **offset**: starting index for `x`.

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying `buffer`, the `offset` parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to calculate the sum of every other value in `x` starting from the second value

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/floor' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ 2.0, 1.0, NaN, -2.0, -2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ] );
var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

var v = snansum.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1 );
// returns 5.0
```

## Notes

-   If `N <= 0`, both functions return `0.0`.

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
var snansum = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/snansum' );

var x;
var i;

x = new Float32Array( 10 );
for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    if ( randu() < 0.2 ) {
        x[ i ] = NaN;
    } else {
        x[ i ] = round( randu()*100.0 );
    }
}
console.log( x );

var v = snansum( x.length, x, 1 );
console.log( v );
