    This is slow because it creates a temp array. Use while loop instead (I 
didn't check the correctness of the code):
    
    ~~~
    val xIndices = x.indices
    val xValues = x.values
    val nnz = xValues.length
    val aValues = a.values
    var i = 0
    while (i < nnz) {
      val idx = xIndices(i)
      val offset = idx * A.numRows
      val xi = xValues(i)
      val multiplier = alpha * xi
      aValues(offset + idx) += multiplier * xi
      var j = i + 1
      while (j < nnz) {
        aValues(offset + xIndices(j)) += multiplier * xValues(j)
        j += 1
      }
      i += 1
    }
    
    // fill in the lower triangular part of A
    ~~~
    
    Please also add a unit test for `syr` with a sparse vector.
