How to Multiplying matrices using for loops
Show older comments
I have to write a MATLAB code using for-loops to perform multiplication of both matrices. Not sure how to do this using for loops but A = [3 4 1; 1 2 3] B = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9] Need to Find A*B
Thanks everyone!

A.*B is not defined between matrices of difference sizes. It is not possible to write code for it.
The .* (otherwise known as times) operator is for element-by-element multiplication. If you are looking for algebraic matrix multiplication then the operator to read about is * (otherwise known as mtimes)
