NumPy | Vector Multiplication

Vector multiplication is of three types:

• Scalar Product
• Dot Product
• Cross Product

Scalar Multiplication:
Scalar multiplication can be represented by multiplying a scalar quantity by all the elements in the vector matrix.

# importing libraries   import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import math    v = np.array([4, 1]) w = 5 * v print("w = ", w)    # Plot w origin =[0], [0] plt.grid() plt.ticklabel_format(style ='sci', axis ='both',                       scilimits =(0, 0)) plt.quiver(*origin, *w, scale = 10) plt.show()

Output :

w =  [20  5]

Dot Product multiplication:

Here, dot product can also be received using the ‘@’ operator.

d = v@s

Output :

4

Cross Product:

Output:

[ 12  76 -61]
