Vector dot product

Syntax

Description

C = dot(A,B) returns the scalar product of the vectors A and B. A and B must be vectors of the same length. When A and B are both column vectors, dot(A,B) is the same as A'*B.

For multidimensional arrays A and B, dot returns the scalar product along the first non-singleton dimension of A and B. A and B must have the same size.

C = dot(A,B,dim) returns the scalar product of A and B in the dimension dim.

Examples

The dot product of two vectors is calculated as shown:
