PURPOSE

20       SSYR   performs the symmetric rank 1 operation
21
22       where alpha is a real scalar, x is an n element vector and A is an n by
23       n symmetric matrix.

ARGUMENTS

27       UPLO   - CHARACTER*1.
28              On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or  lower  triangular
29              part of the array A is to be referenced as follows:
30
31              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   Only the upper triangular part of A is to be
32              referenced.
33
34              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   Only the lower triangular part of A is to be
35              referenced.
36
37              Unchanged on exit.
38
39       N      - INTEGER.
40              On  entry,  N specifies the order of the matrix A.  N must be at
41              least zero.  Unchanged on exit.
42
43       ALPHA  - REAL            .
44              On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.  Unchanged on exit.
45
46       X      - REAL             array of dimension at least
47              ( 1 + ( n - 1 )*abs( INCX ) ).  Before  entry,  the  incremented
48              array X must contain the n element vector x.  Unchanged on exit.
49
50       INCX   - INTEGER.
51              On  entry,  INCX  specifies the increment for the elements of X.
52              INCX must not be zero.  Unchanged on exit.
53
54       A      - REAL             array of DIMENSION ( LDA, n ).
55              Before entry with  UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading n by  n  upper
56              triangular part of the array A must contain the upper triangular
57              part of the symmetric matrix and the strictly  lower  triangular
58              part  of A is not referenced. On exit, the upper triangular part
59              of the array A is overwritten by the upper  triangular  part  of
60              the  updated  matrix.   Before entry with UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the
61              leading n by n lower triangular part of the array A must contain
62              the  lower  triangular  part  of  the  symmetric  matrix and the
63              strictly upper triangular part of A is not referenced. On  exit,
64              the  lower  triangular part of the array A is overwritten by the
65              lower triangular part of the updated matrix.
66
67       LDA    - INTEGER.
68              On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared  in
69              the  calling  (sub)  program.  LDA must be at least max( 1, n ).
70              Unchanged on exit.
