# NAG Library Routine DocumentF06QFF

Note:  before using this routine, please read the Users' Note for your implementation to check the interpretation of bold italicised terms and other implementation-dependent details.

## 1  Purpose

F06QFF performs the matrix-copy operation
 $B←A$
where $A$ and $B$ are $m$ by $n$ real general or trapezoidal matrices.

## 2  Specification

 SUBROUTINE F06QFF ( MATRIX, M, N, A, LDA, B, LDB)
 INTEGER M, N, LDA, LDB REAL (KIND=nag_wp) A(LDA,*), B(LDB,*) CHARACTER(1) MATRIX

None.

None.

## 5  Parameters

1:     MATRIX – CHARACTER(1)Input
On entry: the matrix type.
${\mathbf{MATRIX}}=\text{'G'}$
General matrix.
${\mathbf{MATRIX}}=\text{'U'}$
Upper trapezoidal matrix (upper triangular if $m=n$).
${\mathbf{MATRIX}}=\text{'L'}$
Lower trapezoidal matrix (lower triangular if $m=n$).
Constraint: ${\mathbf{MATRIX}}=\text{'G'}$, $\text{'U'}$ or $\text{'L'}$.
2:     M – INTEGERInput
On entry: $m$, the number of rows of the matrices $A$ and $B$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{M}}\ge 0$.
3:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: $n$, the number of columns of the matrices $A$ and $B$.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{N}}\ge 0$.
4:     A(LDA,$*$) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
Note: the second dimension of the array A must be at least ${\mathbf{N}}$.
On entry: the $m$ by $n$ general or trapezoidal matrix $A$.
• If ${\mathbf{MATRIX}}=\text{'U'}$, $A$ is upper trapezoidal and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
• If ${\mathbf{MATRIX}}=\text{'L'}$, $A$ is lower trapezoidal and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
5:     LDA – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array A as declared in the (sub)program from which F06QFF is called.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{LDA}}\ge \mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{M}}\right)$.
6:     B(LDB,$*$) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
Note: the second dimension of the array B must be at least ${\mathbf{N}}$.
On exit: the $m$ by $n$ general or trapezoidal matrix $B$.
• If ${\mathbf{MATRIX}}=\text{'U'}$, $B$ is upper trapezoidal and the elements of the array below the diagonal are not referenced.
• If ${\mathbf{MATRIX}}=\text{'L'}$, $B$ is lower trapezoidal and the elements of the array above the diagonal are not referenced.
7:     LDB – INTEGERInput
On entry: the first dimension of the array B as declared in the (sub)program from which F06QFF is called.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{LDB}}\ge \mathrm{max}\phantom{\rule{0.125em}{0ex}}\left(1,{\mathbf{M}}\right)$.

None.
