+### Usage
+
+```c
+#include "stdlib/blas/base/sasum.h"
+```
+
+#### c_sasum( N, \*X, stride )
+
+Computes the sum of [absolute values][@stdlib/math/base/special/abs].
+
+```c
+const float x[] = { 1.0f, -2.0f, 3.0f, -4.0f, 5.0f, -6.0f, 7.0f, -8.0f };
+
+float sum = c_sasum( 8, x, 1 );
+// returns 36.0f
+```
+
+The function accepts the following arguments:
+
+-   **N**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` number of indexed elements.
+-   **X**: `[in] float*` input array.
+-   **stride**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` index increment for `X`.
+
+```c
+float c_sasum( const CBLAS_INT N, const float *X, const CBLAS_INT stride );
+```
+
+#### c_sasum_ndarray( N, \*X, stride, offset )
+
+Computes the sum of [absolute values][@stdlib/math/base/special/abs] using alternative indexing semantics.
+
+```c
+const float x[] = { 1.0f, -2.0f, 3.0f, -4.0f, 5.0f, -6.0f, 7.0f, -8.0f };
+
+float sum = c_sasum_ndarray( 8, x, -1, 7 );
+// returns 36.0f
+```
+
+The function accepts the following arguments:

+-   **X**: `[in] float*` input array.
