Hi, I tried rechecking my answer and i tried running the code and i think it’s correct but the answer on the quiz says otherwise. is there something that i missed that made me choose the wrong answer or is there really an error in the answer key? thanks
Hi @jgcanete ,
I would start by mentally following the nested for-loop. How is the inner loop traversing a? horizontally, right? And how does b look like? like a vertical vector, right?
So what shape should b have to do an element-wise multiplication that resembles the nested for-loop?
Try these hints and let me know if you need some more help.
Thanks,
Juan

In addition to Juan’s great analysis, think about the dimensions of the output if you use your selected solution. If you dot a 3 x 4 matrix with a 4 x 1 vector, the result will have dimension 3 x 1. You demonstrated that with your example code. But the output of those for loops will be 3 x 4.
Oh, sorry, they also actually told you that in their error response. I just didn’t read that part carefully enough the first time through.

thanks for this the key is to determine the element wise multiplication which i failed to realize. by that, I should have thought of transposing b. i guess i failed to really understand what the for loop meant to do which is element wise multiplication. below is what I thought the for loop was for which is wrong. Again, thank you for the clarification 
Excellent @jgcanete !!! Lets now keep moving forward into this great adventure!
