times!

Usage

times!(r, p)

Signature

times!:

(R, %) $\to$ %

Parameter	Type	Description
r	R	A scalar to be multiplied by p
p	%	An element of the type (to be destroyed)

Returns

Returns the product $r p$.

Remarks

The storage used by p is allowed to be destroyed or reused, so p is lost after this call. This may cause p to be destroyed, so do not use this unless p has been locally allocated, and is thus guaranteed not to share space with other elements. Some functions are not necessarily copying their arguments and can thus create memory aliases.
