Matlab question.. When using matlab, is it okay to using .* and ./ and .^ all the time, or is it only for matrices?

While it is okay to use those for constants (for example, if you've defined matrix A, A.*5 will equal A*5), it should be used only for operating when you want to multiply or divide each element of one matrix with another.

oooo wait
if you want to use just "^", remember that it is multiplying the MATRIX by itself. Therefore, if you want to raise each element to a certain power, then you must use .^
