    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>

> Compute the [absolute value][@stdlib/math/base/special/abs] for each element in a single-precision floating-point strided array.

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/math-strided-special-sabs
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var sabs = require( '@stdlib/math-strided-special-sabs' );
```

#### sabs( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Computes the [absolute value][@stdlib/math/base/special/abs] for each element in a single-precision floating-point strided array `x` and assigns the results to elements in a single-precision floating-point strided array `y`.

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ -2.0, 1.0, 3.0, -5.0, 4.0, 0.0, -1.0, -3.0 ] );

// Compute the absolute values in-place:
sabs( x.length, x, 1, x, 1 );
// x => <Float32Array>[ 2.0, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 4.0, 0.0, 1.0, 3.0 ]
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **x**: input [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32].
-   **strideX**: index increment for `x`.
-   **y**: output [`Float32Array`][@stdlib/array/float32].
-   **strideY**: index increment for `y`.

The `N` and `stride` parameters determine which elements in `x` and `y` are accessed at runtime. For example, to index every other value in `x` and to index the first `N` elements of `y` in reverse order,

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0, -5.0, -6.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

sabs( N, x, 2, y, -1 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 5.0, 3.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
```

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][@stdlib/array/float32] views.

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float32Array( [ -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0, -5.0, -6.0 ] );
var y0 = new Float32Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float32Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float32Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

var N = floor( x0.length / 2 );

sabs( N, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// y0 => <Float32Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]
```

#### sabs.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Computes the [absolute value][@stdlib/math/base/special/abs] for each element in a single-precision floating-point strided array `x` and assigns the results to elements in a single-precision floating-point strided array `y` using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0, -5.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

sabs.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ]
```

The function accepts the following additional arguments:

-   **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.
-   **offsetY**: starting index for `y`.

While [`typed array`][@stdlib/array/float32] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying `buffer`, the `offsetX` and `offsetY` parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to index every other value in `x` starting from the second value and to index the last `N` elements in `y`,

```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float32' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );

var x = new Float32Array( [ -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0, -5.0, -6.0 ] );
var y = new Float32Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

var N = floor( x.length / 2 );

sabs.ndarray( N, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => <Float32Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 6.0, 4.0, 2.0 ]
```

### Usage

```c
#include "stdlib/math/strided/special/sabs.h"
```

#### stdlib_strided_sabs( N, \*X, strideX, \*Y, strideY )

Computes the absolute value for each element in a single-precision floating-point strided array `X` and assigns the results to elements in a single-precision floating-point strided array `Y`.

```c
#include <stdint.h>

const float X[] = { -1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0, -5.0, -6.0, -7.0, -8.0 };
float Y[] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 };

const int64_t N = 4;

stdlib_strided_sabs( N, X, 2, Y, 2 );
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **N**: `[in] int64_t` number of indexed elements.
-   **X**: `[in] float*` input array.
-   **strideX**: `[in] int64_t` index increment for `X`.
-   **Y**: `[out] float*` output array.
-   **strideY**: `[in] int64_t` index increment for `Y`.

```c
void stdlib_strided_sabs( const int64_t N, const float *X, const int64_t strideX, float *Y, const int64_t strideY );

#include "stdlib/math/strided/special/sabs.h"
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    // Create an input strided array:

    // Create an output strided array:
    float Y[] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 };

    const int64_t N = 4;

    // Specify the stride lengths:
    const int64_t strideX = 2;
    const int64_t strideY = 2;

    // Compute the absolute value element-wise:
    stdlib_strided_sabs( N, X, strideX, Y, strideY );

    // Print the result:
    for ( int i = 0; i < 8; i++ ) {
        printf( "Y[ %i ] = %f\n", i, Y[ i ] );
