Question

I am not even sure what the question is for the problem below, but I have highlighted what I think the question is further down:

Let v = (v1, v2) and w = (w1, w2) be vectors in 2 space.

The Scalar Product of v and whose notation is v (dot) w, is defined as follows: V (dot) w : = v1*w1 + v2 *w2

The scalar product (aka inner product, or dot product) Scalar product of 2 vectors in 2-space using 4 float parameters (the function scalarProduct 1)

ACTUAL QUESTION (I think ) - Code the following in Python:

Write a docstring; then write some test function calls; then implement the body of the function

Some test data: (1., 1.) · (2,3) = 5 (or, as a function call: scalarProduct1)

(1., 1., 2., 3.) (1.,1.) · (2,0) = 2

(1., 1.) · (0,2) =2

(1., 1.,) · (4,5) =23

Answer 1

#ScalarProduct function
#It takes two vectors as input arguments
#It returns sum as output

def scalarProduct1(vect1, vect2):
return sum(i*j for i,j in zip(vect1,vect2))

#defining vectors 1 and 2
vector1 = [2,3]
vector2 = [1,2]

print("Scalar Product of given vectors is : ")
#Calling function defined above to calculate the dot product.
print(scalarProduct1(vector1,vector2))
