SYNOPSIS
|

scale(x, n)

TYPES
|
|
If x is an xx-object, scale(x, n) requires xx_scale() to have been
|
|
defined; conditions on x and n and the type of value returned are
|
|
determined by the definition of xx_scale().
|
|
|

For other x:

|
|
|
x number (real or complex) or matrix
|
|
n integer
|
|
|
|
return same type as x
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Returns the value of 2^n * x.
|
|
|
|
scale(x,n) returns the same as x << n and x >> -n if x is an integer
|
|
for which 2^n * x is an integer.
|
|
|
