for (j=0;j<band_size;j++) { float tmp; float frac = (float)j/band_size; tmp = X[eband20ms[i] + j].r * P[eband20ms[i] + j].r; tmp += X[eband20ms[i] + j].i * P[eband20ms[i] + j].i; sum[i] += (1-frac)*tmp; sum[i+1] += frac*tmp; }

This code is performing a weighted summation over elements of two arrays, X and P, using a linear interpolation scheme based on the fractional index. Here's a detailed breakdown of what this code does:


  1. Loop Over band_size:

    • The outer for loop runs from j = 0 to j < band_size, iterating over a range of size band_size.
  2. Calculate frac:

    • At the beginning of each iteration, frac is calculated as the fraction of progress through the band (j / band_size).
    • This value frac will start from 0.0 at the beginning (j = 0) and increment linearly up to (but less than) 1.0 by the end of the loop.
  3. Access Indexed Elements:

    • The term eband20ms[i] + j is used to index into arrays X and P at specific positions determined by the eband20ms array, current band i, and the loop index j.
  4. Compute Weighted Product of the Complex Numbers:

    • Assuming X and P contain complex numbers represented as .r (real part) and .i (imaginary part):
      tmp = X[eband20ms[i] + j].r * P[eband20ms[i] + j].r
            + X[eband20ms[i] + j].i * P[eband20ms[i] + j].i;
      
      This computes the dot product of the complex pair (X.r, X.i) and (P.r, P.i). Effectively, tmp stores the result of their weighted real and imaginary components.
  5. Update sum Array With Weighted Interpolation:

    • The sum array is being updated using a linear interpolation scheme:
      sum[i] += (1 - frac) * tmp;
      sum[i + 1] += frac * tmp;
      
      • (1 - frac) determines the weight for the current i.
      • frac determines the weight for the next entry i + 1.
      • This smoothly distributes the value of tmp between sum[i] and sum[i + 1] based on how far along the position j is through the band.
  6. Repeat for All Bands (Assumed Outer Context):

    • Based on the indices and structure, this loop is likely repeated for different values of i to process multiple bands of data.

Purpose:

This code appears to be part of an audio or signal processing algorithm. Using arrays X and P (possibly representing frequency-domain data or spectral coefficients), it calculates partially interpolated sums (sum) over frequency bands (band_size), using linear blending between adjacent bands.
