DISLI
This function computes the infinity norm distance between two points.
Function Return Value
DISLI — Infinity norm distance between the points X and Y. (Output)
Required Arguments
X — Vector of length max(N * ∣INCX∣, 1). (Input)
Y — Vector of length max(N * ∣INCY∣, 1). (Input)
Optional Arguments
N — Length of the vectors X and Y. (Input)
Default: N = SIZE (X,1).
INCX — Displacement between elements of X. (Input)
The I-th element of X is X(1 + (I ‑ 1) * INCX) if INCX is greater than or equal to zero, or X(1 + (I ‑ N) * INCX) if INCX is less than zero.
Default: INCX = 1.
INCY — Displacement between elements of Y. (Input)
The I-th element of Y is Y(1 + (I ‑ 1) * INCY) if INCY is greater than or equal to zero, or Y(1 + (I ‑ N) * INCY) if INCY is less than zero.
Default: INCY = 1.
