# SNESGetSolution
Returns the vector where the approximate solution is stored. This is the fine grid solution when using `SNESSetGridSequence()`. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsnes.h"  
PetscErrorCode SNESGetSolution(SNES snes, Vec *x)
```
Not Collective, but x is parallel if snes is parallel


## Input Parameter

- ***snes -*** the `SNES` context



## Output Parameter

- ***x -*** the solution
