multiplication procedure between two vectors

Hello,

I'd like to perform a multiplication procedure between two vectors. I am getting an error. Prime 9 sheet is attached.

 

Regards,

Sam

Hi,

Vector indexes are zero base arrays by default.

Two options.

a) Leave origin at zero for zero based arrays and change the indices to zero based.

or b) adjust ORIGIN=1 for one based indices into vectors and matrices.

Cheers

You are on the safe side if you use the system variable "ORIGIN" and the "last" function.

This way, your calculations are independent of the current value of ORIGIN.

 

You can also dispense with the range variable altogether if you use vectorization. However, “max” is a function that cannot be vectorized, which is why we define an auxiliary function “Max” and then vectorize it.
