Re: [R] Compute z

2015-07-28 Thread MacQueen, Don
To which I will add:

Start up R.
At the prompt, type
  ?Control
This will show you the syntax for 'for' loops.

(is this homework?)

There are no column vectors in R... there are vectors (that have no

and matrices that might have many rows but only one column, and a piece

used to extract a column or row (e.g. mat[ , 1 ]).

It may feel too dense to absorb at first, but the Introduction to R
document that comes with R actually explains all this. Try (re)reading
that occasionally until it sinks in.

Hi Everyone:


How do I correctly compute z?



z = 0;
for i = 1:7
  z = z + v(i) * w(i)

If there are two column vectors v and w, each with 7 elements (i.e.,
they have dimensions 7x1).
