mul (alias: "x*y")

Compute the product of the arguments.

Usage

mul(x, y)

Result

If both arguments x and y are vectors, the tensor (or dyadic) product of the vectors is computed and the result r is a matrix with nrow(x) rows and nrow(y) columns.

ri,j = xi * yj

For all other combinations of data types, the operator * is applied to x and y and the product x*y is returned. If the multiplication is not possible (invalid combination of data types), the function fails.
