    About stdlib...
  </summary>
  <p>We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.</p>
  <p>The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.</p>
  <p>When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.</p>
  <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p>

> Set the off-diagonal elements and the diagonal elements of a single-precision complex floating-point matrix to specified values.

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/lapack-base-claset
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var claset = require( '@stdlib/lapack-base-claset' );
```

#### claset( order, uplo, M, N, alpha, beta, A, LDA )

Sets the off-diagonal elements and the diagonal elements of a single-precision complex floating-point matrix to specified values.

```javascript
var Complex64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex64' );
var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-ctor' );

var A = new Complex64Array( 4 );

var alpha = new Complex64( 1.0, 2.0 );
var beta = new Complex64( 3.0, 4.0 );

claset( 'row-major', 'all', 2, 2, alpha, beta, A, 2 );

var z = A.get( 0 );
// returns <Complex64>[ 3.0, 4.0 ]

z = A.get( 1 );
// returns <Complex64>[ 1.0, 2.0 ]
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **order**: storage layout.
-   **uplo**: specifies whether to set the upper or lower triangular/trapezoidal part of a matrix `A`.
-   **M**: number of rows in `A`.
-   **N**: number of columns in `A`.
-   **alpha**: value assigned to off-diagonal elements.
-   **beta**: value assigned to diagonal elements.
-   **A**: input [`Complex64Array`][@stdlib/array/complex64].
-   **LDA**: stride of the first dimension of `A` (a.k.a., leading dimension of the matrix `A`).

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.

<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/capitalized-comments -->

```javascript
var Complex64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex64' );
var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-ctor' );

// Initial array:
var A0 = new Complex64Array( 5 );

// Create offset view:
var A1 = new Complex64Array( A0.buffer, A0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element

var alpha = new Complex64( 1.0, 2.0 );
var beta = new Complex64( 3.0, 4.0 );

claset( 'row-major', 'all', 2, 2, alpha, beta, A1, 2 );

var z = A0.get( 1 );
// returns <Complex64>[ 3.0, 4.0 ]
```

#### claset.ndarray( uplo, M, N, alpha, beta, A, sa1, sa2, oa )

Sets the off-diagonal elements and the diagonal elements of a single-precision complex floating-point matrix to specified values using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var Complex64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex64' );
var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-ctor' );

var A = new Complex64Array( 4 );

var alpha = new Complex64( 1.0, 2.0 );
var beta = new Complex64( 3.0, 4.0 );

claset.ndarray( 'all', 2, 2, alpha, beta, A, 2, 1, 0 );

var z = A.get( 0 );
// returns <Complex64>[ 3.0, 4.0 ]

z = A.get( 1 );
// returns <Complex64>[ 1.0, 2.0 ]
```

The function has the following parameters:

-   **uplo**: specifies whether to set the upper or lower triangular/trapezoidal part of a matrix `A`.
-   **M**: number of rows in `A`.
-   **N**: number of columns in `A`.
-   **alpha**: value assigned to off-diagonal elements.
-   **beta**: value assigned to diagonal elements.
-   **A**: input [`Complex64Array`][@stdlib/array/complex64].
-   **sa1**: stride of the first dimension of `A`.
-   **sa2**: stride of the second dimension of `A`.
-   **oa**: starting index for `A`.

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example,

```javascript
var Complex64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-complex64' );
var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-ctor' );

var A = new Complex64Array( 5 );

var alpha = new Complex64( 1.0, 2.0 );
var beta = new Complex64( 3.0, 4.0 );

claset.ndarray( 'all', 2, 2, alpha, beta, A, 2, 1, 1 );

var z = A.get( 0 );
// returns <Complex64>[ 0.0, 0.0 ]

z = A.get( 1 );
// returns <Complex64>[ 3.0, 4.0 ]
```
