===============================================================================

Description.


Memory management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


.. function:: fmpq * _fmpq_vec_init(slong n)

    Initialises a vector of ``fmpq`` values of length `n` and sets
    all values to 0. This is equivalent to generating a ``fmpz`` vector
    of length `2n` with ``_fmpz_vec_init`` and setting all denominators
    to 1.

.. function:: void _fmpq_vec_clear(fmpq * vec, slong n)

    Frees an ``fmpq`` vector.



Randomisation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


.. function:: void _fmpq_vec_randtest(fmpq * f, flint_rand_t state, slong len, flint_bitcnt_t bits)

    Sets the entries of a vector of the given length to random rationals with 
    numerator and denominator having up to the given number of bits per entry.

.. function:: void _fmpq_vec_randtest_uniq_sorted(fmpq * vec, flint_rand_t state, slong len, flint_bitcnt_t bits)

    Sets the entries of a vector of the given length to random distinct
    rationals with numerator and denominator having up to the given number
    of bits per entry. The entries in the vector are sorted.


Sorting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


.. function:: void _fmpq_vec_sort(fmpq * vec, slong len)

    Sorts the entries of ``(vec, len)``.


Conversions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


.. function:: void _fmpq_vec_set_fmpz_vec(fmpq * res, const fmpz * vec, slong len)

    Sets ``(res, len)`` to ``(vec, len)``.


Dot product
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


.. function:: void _fmpq_vec_dot(fmpq_t res, const fmpq * vec1, const fmpq * vec2, slong len)

    Sets ``res`` to the dot product of the vectors ``(vec1, len)`` and 
    ``(vec2, len)``.


Input and output
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


.. function:: int _fmpq_vec_fprint(FILE * file, const fmpq * vec, slong len)

    Prints the vector of given length to the stream ``file``. The
    format is the length followed by two spaces, then a space separated
    list of coefficients. If the length is zero, only `0` is printed.

    In case of success, returns a positive value. In case of failure,
    returns a non-positive value.

.. function:: int _fmpq_vec_print(const fmpq * vec, slong len)

    Prints the vector of given length to ``stdout``.
