%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% r8vec_is_ascending_strictly() determines if an R8VEC is strictly ascending.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    An R8VEC is a vector of R8's.
%
%    Notice the effect of entry number 6 in the following results:
%
%      X = ( -8.1, 1.3, 2.2, 3.4, 7.5, 7.4, 9.8 )
%      Y = ( -8.1, 1.3, 2.2, 3.4, 7.5, 7.5, 9.8 )
%      Z = ( -8.1, 1.3, 2.2, 3.4, 7.5, 7.6, 9.8 )
%
%      R8VEC_IS_ASCENDING_STRICTLY ( X ) = false
%      R8VEC_IS_ASCENDING_STRICTLY ( Y ) = false
%      R8VEC_IS_ASCENDING_STRICTLY ( Z ) = true

%  Input:
%
%    integer N, the size of the array.
%
%    real X(N), the array to be examined.
%
%  Output:
%
%    logical VALUE, is true if the
%    entries of X strictly ascend.
%
  value = true;

  for i = 1 : n - 1
    if ( x(i+1) <= x(i) )
      value = false;
      break;
