multiply all elements of a vector together MATLAB

Question

If I have:

vec = 1:10

is there a function that will multiply all elements together (1*2*3*4*5...) of it without the need of a for loop?

Thanks!

Hmmm, did you search the documentation for a function to evaluate the product of a vector or would you like me to do that for you ? — High Performance Mark

Please don't forget that not everyone is a native English speaker. The word "product" is different than the word "multiply". — Andrey Rubshtein

Use the function prod :

vec = 1:4; prod(vec) ans = 24
