Scalar product : scalar_product * dotprod dot dotP
scalar_Product
dot or dotP or dotprod or scalar_product or
scalarProduct or the infixed operator * takes as argument
two vectors.
dot or dotP or dotprod or scalar_product or
scalarProduct or * returns the scalar product of these
two
vectors.
Input :
dot([1,2,3],[4,3,5])
or :
scalar_product([1,2,3],[4,3,5])
or :
[1,2,3]*[4,3,5]
or :
'*'([1,2,3],[4,3,5])
Output :
25
Indeed 25=1*4+2*3+3*5.
Note that * may be used to find the product of two polynomials
represented as list of their coefficients, but to avoid ambiguity,
the polynomial lists must be poly1[...].
