(i) The command y=a*b is a matrix multiplication, and the requirement is that the number
of rows of matrix a should be equal to the number of columns of matrix b.
The command a.*b is an element by element product, and the requirement is that the size
of matrics a and b should be exactly the same, i.e. the number of rows of matrix a should
be equal to the number of rows of matrix b, and number of columns of matrix a should
be equal to the number of columns of matrix b.
(ii)

a=[1 2 3];
b=[4 5 6];

c=a*b;
d=a.*b;
(iii)
The command c=a.*b is fine, since both matrices are identical in size; however, the
command c=a*b gives an error, since the number of rows of a is not equal to the number
of columns of b. The corrected command would c=a*b.
