I read in the manual that with matrix addition and subtraction scalars or 1x1 matrices are expanded to be conformable with the other argument, e.g.
matrix jan=1+ones(3,1)
works and results in a 3x1 matrix. Adding the next command also works as expected:
matrix jan=ones(3,1)+jan'jan
However, reversing the command results in an error:
matrix jan=jan'jan + ones(3,1)
Matrices not conformable for operation
Is this normal behaviour and am I missing something, or is this a bug?
