collapse all in page

Syntax

C = A.*B
C = times(A,B)

Description

C = A.*B performs element-by-element multiplication of A and B, and returns the result in C.

times does not support fi objects of data type boolean.

example

C = times(A,B) is an alternate way to execute A.*B.

Use the times function to perform element-by-element multiplication of a fi object and a scalar. 

a=4;
b=fi([2 4 7; 9 0 2])
b = 
     2     4     7
     9     0     2

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 16
        FractionLength: 11

a is a scalar double, and b is a matrix of fi objects. When doing arithmetic between a fi and a double, the double is cast to a fi with the same word length and signedness of the fi, and best-precision fraction length. The result of the operation is a fi. 

c=a.*b
c = 
     8    16    28
    36     0     8

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 32
        FractionLength: 23

During the operation, a was cast to a fi object with wordlength 16. The output, c, is a fi object with word length 32, the sum of the word lengths of the two multiplicands, a and b. This is because the default setting of ProductMode in fimath is FullPrecision.

Use the times function to perform element-by-element multiplication of two fi objects. 

a=fi([5 9 9; 1 2 -3], 1, 16, 3)
a = 
     5     9     9
     1     2    -3

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 16
        FractionLength: 3

b=fi([2 4 7; 9 0 2], 1, 16, 3)
b = 
     2     4     7
     9     0     2

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 16
        FractionLength: 3

c=a.*b
c = 
    10    36    63
     9     0    -6

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 32
        FractionLength: 6

The word length and fraction length of c are equal to the sums of the word lengths and fraction lengths of a and b. This is because the default setting of ProductMode in fimath is FullPrecision.
