   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   v1         I   First vector to be added.
   v2         I   Second vector to be added.
   vout       O   Sum vector, v1 + v2.

Detailed_Input

   v1,
   v2          are two arbitrary double precision 3-dimensional
               vectors.

Detailed_Output

   vout        is the double precision 3-dimensional vector sum of `v1'
               and `v2'. `vout' may overwrite either `v1' or `v2'.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   Error free.

Files

   None.

Particulars

   This routine simply performs addition between components of `v1'
   and `v2'. No checking is performed to determine whether floating
   point overflow has occurred.

Examples

   The numerical results shown for this example may differ across
   platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
   input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
   specific arithmetic implementation.


   1) Define two sets of 3-dimensional vectors and compute the sum
      of each vector in first set with the corresponding vector in
      the second set.


      Example code begins here.


      /.
         Program vadd_ex1
      ./
      #include <stdio.h>
      #include "SpiceUsr.h"

      int main( )
      {

         /.
         Local parameters.
         ./
         #define SETSIZ       2

         /.
         Local variables.
         ./
         SpiceDouble          vout   [3];

         SpiceInt             i;

         /.
         Define the two vector sets.
         ./
         SpiceDouble          seta   [SETSIZ][3] = { {1.0,   2.0,   3.0  },
                                                     {1.e-7, 1.e23, 1.e-9} };

         SpiceDouble          setb   [SETSIZ][3] = { {4.0,   5.0,   6.0},
                                                     {1.e24, 1.e23, 0.0} };

         /.
         Calculate the sum of each pair of vectors
         ./
         for ( i = 0; i < SETSIZ; i++ )
         {

            vadd_c ( seta[i], setb[i], vout );

            printf( "Vector A  :  %10.2e %10.2e %10.2e\n",
                    seta[i][0], seta[i][1], seta[i][2] );
            printf( "Vector B  :  %10.2e %10.2e %10.2e\n",
                    setb[i][0], setb[i][1], setb[i][2] );
            printf( "Sum vector:  %10.2e %10.2e %10.2e\n",
                               vout[0], vout[1], vout[2] );
            printf( "\n" );

         }

         return ( 0 );
      }


      When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/cc/64-bit
      platform, the output was:


      Vector A  :    1.00e+00   2.00e+00   3.00e+00
      Vector B  :    4.00e+00   5.00e+00   6.00e+00
      Sum vector:    5.00e+00   7.00e+00   9.00e+00

      Vector A  :    1.00e-07   1.00e+23   1.00e-09
      Vector B  :    1.00e+24   1.00e+23   0.00e+00
      Sum vector:    1.00e+24   2.00e+23   1.00e-09

Restrictions

   1)  The user is required to determine that the magnitude each
       component of the vectors is within the appropriate range so as
       not to cause floating point overflow.
