The R %*% operator

r

Solution

It's a matrix multiplication operator!

From the documentation:

Description:

Multiplies two matrices, if they are conformable. If one argument is a vector, it will be promoted to either a row or column matrix to make the two arguments conformable. If both are vectors of the same length, it will return the inner product (as a matrix).

Usage:

x %*% y

Arguments:

`x`, `y` numeric or complex matrices or vectors

Problem

What is this? I can't find help by using `?`. (Sorry for being dumb) ``` > 1%*%1 [,1] [1,] 1 > 10%*%10 [,1] [1,] 100 > c(1:2)%*%c(1:2) [,1] [1,] 5 ```
