How to multiply one array to all elements of a vector with a different size?

Take

a=[1 2; 3 4]

and

b=[4 5 6]

How can I creat a 3D vector,

c(:,:,1)=a*b(1)
c(:,:,2)=a*b(2)
c(:,:,3)=a*b(3)

if I don't want to use a for loop. Is there any code for this multiplication in MATLAB?

You can use implicit expansion with the element-wise multiply operator:

c = a .* reshape(b,1,1,[]);
