Hello, I 'm new in matlab and I need help please. I have 3 matrix A,B et C. the size of each matrix is 1000*1121. I want to sum the 3 matrix (A+B+C) and save the result in a matrix D (for example : D[1,1]= A[1,1]+B[1,1]+C[1,1]). Please, how can I implement this problem in matlab? and thanks in advance

Product of matrices is "*". Therefore, if they're the same size, D= A*B*C; If instead you want elementwise product, D = A.*B.*C; But all of this is very basic, and explained in the documentation.

Hi
have you tried the following?
D = A+B+C;
I'm not sure what you mean with the square parentheses. In matlab square parentheses are used to define vectors and matrices, as in
v = [1 2 3];
or
M = [1 2; 3 4];
not to access matrix elements. Matrix elements are accessed with A(1,3). Anyway sum and subtraction can be used to sum entire matrices, provided that they have the same sizes.

thank you it works for the sum but you have an idea how to make the product of these three matrices?
