I am very new to MATLAB but I have to deliver an assignment. How do I solve matrix dimension issue in line 10 and 11.

Given the following matrix dimensions

L=39360*39360

y=39360*1

q=1*39360

E= 2.8709

X=39360*39360

T=39360*39360

code

1. dq=L*y;

2. dtr=dq.*q'/E;

3. ql = q * L;

4. ldf = L * y;

5. dt = zeros(39360, 39360);

6. dtr = zeros(39360, 39360);

7. for a = 1:39360

8. for b = 1:39360

9. if X(b, :) ~= 0

10. dt(a,b) = ql(:,a)*ldf(b,:) /X(b,:);

11. dtr(a,b) = (ql(:,a)*ldf(b,:)* T))/(X(b,:)*E);

else

dt(a, b) = 0;

dtr(a, b) = 0;

end

end

end

N = 39360;
L = rand(N, N);
y = rand(N, 1);
q = rand(1, N);
E = 2.8709;
X = rand(N, N);
T = rand(N, N);

dq=L*y;
dtr=dq.*q'/E;
ql = q * L;
ldf = L * y;
dt = zeros(39360, 39360);
dtr = zeros(39360, 39360);
for a = 1:39360
    for b = 1:39360
        if X(b, :) ~= 0
           dt(a,b) = ql(:,a)*ldf(b,:) /X(b,:); 
           dtr(a,b) = (ql(:,a)*ldf(b,:)* T))/(X(b,:)*E);

1 0 1 2 1 2 1 0? 0 1 0 ?

 
        else
            dt(a, b) = 0;
            dtr(a, b) = 0;
        end

You have too many )

Your ldf is 39360 x 1. Your ql is 1 x 3936. Select rows and columns out of those and you get 1 x 1 and 1 x 1. Use * to multiply two 1 x 1 and you get 1 x 1. You cannot / between 1 x 1 and a 1 x something (not unless the "something" is 1)

%N = 39360;      %too large for actual test
N = 3936;
L = rand(N, N);
y = rand(N, 1);
q = rand(1, N);
E = 2.8709;
X = rand(N, N);
T = rand(N, N);

dq=L*y;
dtr=dq.*q'/E;
ql = q * L;
ldf = L * y;

Matrix dimensions must agree.
