f_dst_norm_pdf Function

impure function f_dst_norm_pdf(x, mu, sigma) result(fx)

! ==== Description
!! Impure wrapper function for `f_dst_norm_pdf_core`.
!! Handles optional arguments and invalid values for arguments.

! ==== Declarations
  real(wp), intent(in)           :: x       !! sample position
  real(wp), intent(in), optional :: mu      !! distribution location (mean)
  real(wp), intent(in), optional :: sigma   !! distribution dispersion/scale (standard deviation)
  real(wp)                       :: mu_w    !! final value of mu
  real(wp)                       :: sigma_w !! final value of sigma
  real(wp)                       :: fx

! ==== Instructions

! ---- handle input

  ! assume location/mean = 0, overwrite if specified
  mu_w = 0.0_wp
  if (present(mu)) mu_w = mu

  ! assume sigma = 1, overwrite if specified
  sigma_w = 1.0_wp
  if (present(sigma)) sigma_w = sigma

  ! check if sigma value is valid
  if (sigma_w .le. 0.0_wp) then
     ! write error message and assign sentinel value if invalid
     call s_err_print(fsml_error(1))
     fx = c_sentinel_r
     return
  endif

! ---- compute PDF

  ! call pure function to calculate probability/fx
  fx = f_dst_norm_pdf_core(x, mu_w, sigma_w)
