# sslect.f(3)

## NAME

TESTING/EIG/sslect.f

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions/Subroutines

logical function **sslect** (zr, zi)\
 **SSLECT**

## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### logical function sslect (real zr, real zi)

**SSLECT**

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> SSLECT returns .TRUE. if the eigenvalue ZR+sqrt(-1)*ZI is to be
!> selected, and otherwise it returns .FALSE.
!> It is used by SCHK41 to test if SGEES successfully sorts eigenvalues,
!> and by SCHK43 to test if SGEESX successfully sorts eigenvalues.
!>
!> The common block /SSLCT/ controls how eigenvalues are selected.
!> If SELOPT = 0, then SSLECT return .TRUE. when ZR is less than zero,
!> and .FALSE. otherwise.
!> If SELOPT is at least 1, SSLECT returns SELVAL(SELOPT) and adds 1
!> to SELOPT, cycling back to 1 at SELMAX.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*ZR*

```
!>          ZR is REAL
!>          The real part of a complex eigenvalue ZR + i*ZI.
!>
```

*ZI*

```
!>          ZI is REAL
!>          The imaginary part of a complex eigenvalue ZR + i*ZI.
