function value = r8vec_norm_l2 ( n, a )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% r8vec_norm_l2() returns the L2 norm of an R8VEC.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The vector L2 norm is defined as:
%
%      value = sqrt ( sum ( 1 <= I <= N ) A(I)^2 ).

%
%  Input:
%
%    integer N, the number of entries in A.
%
%    real A(N), the vector whose L2 norm is desired.
%
%  Output:
%
%    real VALUE, the L2 norm of A.
%
  value = sqrt ( sum ( a(1:n).^2 ) );
