`matdivide(X;Y)`

Returns the element-wise division of the two given matrices. (Available as of prod-9)

Function type

Vector only

Syntax

matdivide(X;Y)

Input

Argument	Type	Description
`X`	integer or decimal or matrix model	A scalar value or the name of a column The column specified by this parameter may contain matrix models generated by the 1010data Matrix Functions.
`Y`	integer or decimal or matrix model	A scalar value or the name of a column The column specified by this parameter may contain matrix models generated by the 1010data Matrix Functions.

Note: Either X or Y may be a scalar or scalar column, but not both.

Return Value

Returns a matrix model that is the element-wise division of the matrix specified by X by the matrix specified by Y.

If X and Y do not have the same dimensions, an error is returned.

Example

Consider the following example:

<table cols="name, data_1, data_2, data_3, data_4" title="matdivide example">
John,8,0,5,1;
John,2,0,1,1;
Mary,3,1,2,2;
Mary,4,1,2,2;
John,5,2,3,1;
John,6,2,3,1;
Mary,7,3,4,2;
Mary,1,3,0,2
</table>
<willbe name="matrix_0" value="g_matrix(name;;;data_1 data_2 data_3 data_4;0)"/>
<willbe name="matrix_1" value="g_matrix(name;;;data_1 data_2 data_3 data_4;1)"/>
<willbe name="mat1_divide_mat0" value="matdivide(matrix_1;matrix_0)"/>

For every row, the matrix in mat1_divide_mat0 will be the element-wise matrix division of the matrices in matrix_1 by matrix_0.

For example, clicking on the > character in the first row of the matrix_0 column displays the matrix model for those rows where name is John.

Clicking on the > character in the first row of the matrix_1 column displays the transpose of that matrix.

Finally, clicking on the > character in the first row of the mat1_divide_mat0 column displays the element-wise matrix division of matrix_1 by matrix_0.
