mul

Multiplies x and y using matrix math. The inner dimension x-columns and y-rows must be equal.

ret mul(x, y)

Parameters

Item	Description
x	[in] The x input value. If x is a vector, it treated as a row vector.
y	[in] The y input value. If y is a vector, it treated as a column vector.

The result of x times y. The result has the dimension x-rows x y-columns.

There are 9 overloaded versions of this function; the overloaded versions handle the different cases for the types and sizes of the input arguments.
