:M=sum(A) Scilab sum(A) returns the sum of all components of
A. So, if A is a vector, then Scilab and Matlab work in the
same way. If A is a matrix, Scilab sum(A) gives the sum of all
elements of A but Matlab returns the sum of each column. Finally,
if A is a multidimensional array, Matlab works on the first non-
singleton dimension of A what Scilab does not. So, to be sure to
find a Scilab equivalent for Matlab call to sum it is better to
precise dimension on which to work.
: :M=sum(A,dim) In Scilab dim=1 is equivalent to dim=”r” and
dim=2 is equivalent dim=”c”. In Matlab, dim can be greater
then the number of dimension of A (in this case, M=A), in
Scilab you will get an error message.
