Hello.

This is a very simple question, and perhaps very basic, but I just want to make it clear for me.

When do I use .^ and ^ ? or in Multiplication: .* and * ? or division: ./ or / ?

By the way, what is the different between this sign ' \ ' and this ' / '

I want to know the different and when I should use it in different situations.

Some examples would be nice.

Regards Cillian
