How to obtain element-wise squaring of vector/matrix? - mbeddo - 11-26-2019 07:40 PM I'm implementing a non-linear fitting routine and [/code]I need to square the elements of a vector from within a program. From the CAS screen I can easily square the elements of a vector [1, 2, 3, 4]: [attachment=7858] The simple program below has a syntax error: Code:
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I looked for a function that would square element-wise, and "apply" seemed to fit the bill. I'm trying to avoid a FOR loop. I think it would be easier if I just squared a list of numbers, then converted the answer to a vector? RE: How to obtain element-wise squaring of vector/matrix? - swagner53 - 11-26-2019 08:47 PM Hi, apply is a CAS command that does not work under Home. Try converting to a CAS program by sandwiching your code between #cas and #end. Hopefully, that will work.

Thanks!

It seems I still have a ways to go digesting the reference manual - these point operators didn't register while searching for element-wise operators. Guess I have a ways to go to learn how to search the documents. |
