ldivide, rdivide - Left or right array division

Syntax

Description

ldivide(A,B) and the equivalent A.\B divides each entry of B by the corresponding entry of A. A and B must be arrays of the same size. A scalar value for either A or B is expanded to an array of the same size as the other.

rdivide(A,B) and the equivalent A./B divides each entry of A by the corresponding entry of B. A and B must be arrays of the same size. A scalar value for either A or B is expanded to an array of the same size as the other.

Examples

A = [1 2 3;4 5 6];
B = ones(2, 3);
A.\B
