# fn() computeAlignmentStats
Compute alignment statistics.

Defined in | <seqan/align.h>
Signature | `TScoreVal computeAlignmentStats([stats, ]align, scoringScheme);`

## Parameters

`stats` | The AlignmentStats object to store alignment statistics in.
`align` | The Align object to score.
`score` | The Score object to use for the scoring scheme.

## Return Values

`TScoreVal` | The score value of the alignment, of the same type as the value type of `scoringScheme`
