A way to compute dot product of an array and a vector

Hi, So if I have a 2-D array such as

 [1 2
3 4
5 6]

and a vector such as

[7 8]

I want to have matlab calculate the dot product of the rows of the array and the vector, and save the results as a column vector. How can I do this?

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

[1 2
3 4
5 6] * [7 8].'

Hi, thank you for the answer, it solved my problem;

however, is the dot before the ' needed?

Usually it means elementwise-operation but here I don't see the connection with the transposition;

[Torsten]

.' means: usual transpose

' means: conjugate transpose

If the arrays are all real-valued, both operations give the same result. If they are complex-valued - not.

a = [1 2];
a'

ans = 2×1

1 2

a.'

ans = 2×1

1 2

a = [1 + 1i , 2-3*1i];
a'

ans = 
   1.0000 - 1.0000i
   2.0000 + 3.0000i

a.'

ans = 
   1.0000 + 1.0000i
   2.0000 - 3.0000i
