# VecAYPX
Computes y = x + beta y. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode VecAYPX(Vec y, PetscScalar beta, Vec x)
```
Logically Collective on Vec


## Input Parameters

- ***beta -*** the scalar
- ***x, y  -*** the vectors



## Output Parameter

- ***y -*** output vector





## Notes
x and y MUST be different vectors
The implementation is optimized for beta of -1.0, 0.0, and 1.0
