Create a 3-by-3 array whose elements correspond to their linear indices.

A = reshape(quaternion(randn(9,4)),3,3)

You can specify which dimension of a quaternion array to take the product of.

Create a 2-by-2-by-2 quaternion array.

A = reshape(quaternion(randn(8,4)),2,2,2);

Find the product of the elements in each page of the array. The length of the first dimension matches size(A,1), the length of the second dimension matches size(A,2), and the length of the third dimension is 1.

dim = 3;
B = prod(A,dim)
B = 2x2 quaternion array

Input Arguments

collapse all

Quaternion, specified as scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array of quaternions.

Example: qProd = prod(quat) calculates the quaternion product along the first non-singleton dimension of quat.

Data Types: quaternion

Dimension along which to calculate the quaternion product, specified as a positive integer. If dim is not specified, prod operates along the first non-singleton dimension of quat.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

Output Arguments

collapse all

Quaternion product, returned as quaternion array with one less non-singleton dimension than quat.

For example, if quat is a 2-by-2-by-5 array,

  • prod(quat,1) returns a 1-by-2-by-5 array.

  • prod(quat,2) returns a 2-by-1-by-5 array.

  • prod(quat,3) returns a 2-by-2 array.

Data Types: quaternion
