Calling Sequence

|
X

MapleMatrix, or MatlabMatrix

Description
|
|
•
|
The command dimensions computes the size of a matrix. This command is equivalent to the Matlab[size] command.
|
•
|
Use dimensions for computing dimensions of Maple variables, and Matlab[size] for computing the dimensions of MATLAB variables.
|
•
|
If X is a string, then the size is computed using MATLAB.
|
•
|
Executing the dimensions command returns an integer list with n elements for an n-dimensional object. For example, a 3x4 matrix is two-dimensional, therefore a list with two elements is returned. Each element corresponds to the size of that dimension. For the 3x4 matrix, the returned list is [3, 4].

The product of maplematrix_a*maplematrix_b is computed in MATLAB and the result is assigned to matlabmatrix_c. The dimensions of the new matrix are determined with the Maple call.
