[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50641] Cannot divide the number of arguments in a set/matrix

[Rik]

Update of bug #50641 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Octave is behaving correctly here.  In Matrix Algebra there is no way to
divide a 1x1 matrix by a 2x3 matrix.

If you are trying to calculate the reciprocal of each individual number in the
array, then you want to use the './' syntax.

For example,


A=[1,2,3;4,5,6];
B = 1 ./ A
B =

   1.00000   0.50000   0.33333
   0.25000   0.20000   0.16667


I would suggest reading an introductory text on Matlab or Octave to become
familiar with the syntax.  The manual for Octave is quite complete, and it is
free, if you want to start there.  But there are also a lot of quick tutorials
on the Web.

Marking bug as invalid and closing report.
