IMPLEMENTATION

DESCRIPTION
     These routines perform the following symmetric rank 2 operation:
                       T           T
          A <- alpha xy  + alpha yx  + A
                                    T                         T
     where alpha is a real scalar, y  is the transpose of y, x  is the
     transpose of x, x and y are n-element vectors, and A is an n-by-n real
     symmetric matrix.

     This routine has the following arguments:

     uplo      Character*1.  (input)
               Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of
               matrix A is being supplied, as follows:

               uplo= 'U' or 'u':  only the upper triangular part of array a
               is referenced.
               uplo= 'L' or 'l':  only the lower triangular part of array a
               is referenced.

     n         Integer.  (input)
               Specifies the order of matrix A.  n >= 0.

     alpha     Scalar alpha.  (input)
               SSYR2: Real.
               DSYR2: Double precision.

     x         Array of dimension 1+(n-1) * |incx|.  (input)
               SSYR2: Real array.
               DSYR2: Double precision array.

     incx      Integer.  (input)
               On entry, incx specifies the increment for the elements of
               x.  incx must not be 0.

     y         Array of dimension 1+(n-1) * |incy|.  (input)
               SSYR2: Real array.
               DSYR2: Double precision array.

     incy      Integer.  (input)
               On entry, incy specifies the increment for the elements of
               y.  incy must not be 0.

     a         Array of dimension (lda,n).  (input and output)
               SSYR2: Real array.
               DSYR2: Double precision array.

               Before entry with  uplo='U' or 'u', the leading n-by-n upper
               triangular part of array a must contain the upper triangular
               part of the symmetric matrix and the strictly lower
               triangular part of a is not referenced.  On exit, the upper
               triangular part of the updated matrix overwrites the upper
               triangular part of array a.

               Before entry with uplo='L' or 'l', the leading n-by-n lower
               triangular part of array a must contain the lower triangular
               part of the symmetric matrix and the strictly upper
               triangular part of a is not referenced.  On exit, the lower
               triangular part of the updated matrix overwrites the lower
               triangular part of array a.

     lda       Integer.  (input)
               Specifies the first dimension of a as declared in the
               calling program.  lda >= MAX(1,n).

NOTES
     SSYR2/DSYR2 is a Level 2 Basic Linear Algebra Subprogram (Level 2
     BLAS).

     When working backward (incx < 0 or incy < 0), this routine starts at
     the end of the vector and moves backward, as follows:

          x(1-incx * (n-1)), x(1-incx * (n-2)) , ..., x(1)

          y(1-incy * (n-1)), y(1-incy * (n-2)) , ..., y(1)
