Description
C = cross(A,B)
returns the cross product of the vectors A
and B
. That is, C = A x B
. A
and B
must be 3-element vectors. If A
and B
are multidimensional arrays, cross
returns the cross product of A
and B
along the first dimension of length 3.
C = cross(A,B,dim)
where A
and B
are multidimensional arrays, returns the cross product of A
and B
in dimension dim
. A
and B
must have the same size, and both size(A,dim)
and size(B,dim)
must be 3.
Remarks
To perform a dot (scalar) product of two vectors of the same size, use c = dot(a,b).
Examples
The cross and dot products of two vectors are calculated as shown:
