Better syntax than for loop

I've been told that I should avoid "for" loops in MatLab because they are generally less efficient. True? Is there a better way to write this?

for y=1:33

VKT_SC(y,:)=SC_Share(y,:).*Total_F_VKT(y)

end

Answer 1

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

VKT_SC=bsxfun(@times,SC_Share,Total_F_VKT)

or depending on the size of Total_F_VKT

VKT_SC=bsxfun(@times,SC_Share,Total_F_VKT')

Thanks!
