# PetscSpaceSumGetSubspace
Get a space in the sum space
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscfe.h"
PetscErrorCode PetscSpaceSumGetSubspace(PetscSpace sp, PetscInt s, PetscSpace *subsp)
```
## Input Parameters
- ***sp -*** the function space object
- ***s -*** The space number
## Output Parameter
- ***subsp -*** the `PetscSpace`
## Note
The name GetSubspace is slightly misleading because it is actually getting one of the defining spaces of the sum, not a Subspace of it
