MATLAB: Matlab array multiplication between numeric and variable array

arraymultiplyvariable sum inside array

 qi=sym('qi',[1 3]); %define variables q1, q2, q3
prompt = 'enter which point in time you want to find inventory level'; %%user input for time range. ex: 0:6
j = input(prompt)
prompt = 'enter how many basic delivery cycles inventory of item should delivered to retailer i'; %user input for delivery cycles of three retailers ex: [1 2 3]
fri = input(prompt)
p = j
L = bsxfun(@rdivide,j(:),fri)     %%find xij matrix which retailer orders at which point. in Xij matrix, 1 means retailer place order and 0 means there is no order from retailer.
R = mod(L,1)
Xij = R <= 0 % print Xij matrix with 1 and 0. three columns for three retailers
B = Xij.*qi % multiplication of Xij with [q1 q2 q3], and i got error message for this matrix as below

Error using symengine
Array sizes must match.

Till Xij matrix my code is working perfectly. i need help to multiply Xij array with [q1 q2 q3] array which means first column of Xij with q1, second column with q2 and third column with q3. and finally i need to get sum of each row by variables. ex: q1+q2+q3

Best Answer

i try to define like this i=sym('qi',[1 3]); and it wont create the array
Try it as follows:
syms q1(i) q2(i) q3(i)
q=[q1 q2 q3]
