I found this error in my code and I don't think it should be an error. Anyone know if this is a bug or has MatLab programmed things this way for some reason?
K>> a=true(5,1);
K>> b=true(5,1);
K>> a*b(1,1);
Error using *
Both logical inputs must be scalar.
To compute elementwise TIMES, use TIMES (.*) instead.
K>> c=rand(5,1)
K>> d=rand(5,1)
K>> c*d(1,1)
K>> ver

It is not a Matlab bug; it is owing to the definition of matrix multiplication not making sense for logical variables; the logical only makes sense on an element-wise calculation.

Numerical multiplication is analogous to logical and, so you can do this:
a = true(5,1);
b = true(5,1);
c = a & b(1,1);
