# Vector hadamard

`vector-hadamard` · version 1.0.0 · Vectors & matrices · free, no key needed

Multiply two equal-length finite-number vectors elementwise (Hadamard product).

**Use when you need to: vector hadamard product · elementwise vector multiplication · pointwise vector product.**

## Supported

- vector hadamard product
- elementwise vector multiplication
- pointwise vector product

## Not supported

- vectors of different lengths
- dot product (use vector-dot)
- arbitrary-precision arithmetic

## Behavior

- Inputs a and b are arrays of finite JSON numbers with the same length, from 1 to 64 entries.
- Each entry magnitude is bounded to at most 1000000 in absolute value.
- The result is the elementwise IEEE-754 double-precision product result[i] = a[i] * b[i].
- A result entry of -0 is normalized to 0.

## Input

- `a` (array of number, required): min items 1; max items 64
- `b` (array of number, required): min items 1; max items 64

## Output

- `result` (array of number, required)

## Limits

- max dim: 64
- max abs value: 1000000

## Example

Request input:

```json
{
  "a": [
    1,
    2,
    3
  ],
  "b": [
    4,
    5,
    6
  ]
}
```

Response:

```json
{
  "result": {
    "result": [
      4,
      10,
      18
    ]
  }
}
```
