Add \cdot for Julia
Closed this issue · 4 comments
For Julia you can use the unicode \cdot for dot(A,B). It's a nice alternative that should be shown.
Hey @ChrisRackauckas thanks for following along here.
I think this suggestion would fit well in the Julia only cheatsheet that @vgregory757 has been working on.
The purpose of the Matlab-Python-Julia cheatsheet is not to show all the ways to do certain operations, but rather make it convenient for someone who knows one of those languages to get a jump start on learning the other. I think showing unicode operators goes a bit beyond that purpose as it requires extra editor setup for people to do that outside the REPL or notebook.
It only requires extra editor setup outside of the REPL, notebooks, or Juno. I'd call that pretty standard. It does show how beautiful unicode is as well. Making Julia use dot is just bringing it down to their level. But I see what you mean. I hope the Julia-only cheatsheet shows all the nice unicode.
I think that with the RowVector changes you should add that A'B is probably the easiest and most obvious way to take the dot product.
Incorporated in the new cheatsheet. Only took us two years.
