Applying vector rowwise over matrix

[GreyMerchant]

Hello,

I have a very basic example below. I want to divide the matrix by the vector but I want to divide the first element of the vector over the first row, the second element of the vector over the second row etc. Is there a quick way to do accomplish this?

matrix <- matrix(1:20,nrow = 4, ncol = 5)
vector <- c(1:4)

You can directly divide thanks to vectorization.

matrix <- matrix(1:20, nrow = 4, ncol = 5)
vector <- c(1:4)

matrix / vector
#>      [,1]     [,2]     [,3] [,4]      [,5]
#> [1,]    1 5.000000 9.000000   13 17.000000
#> [2,]    1 3.000000 5.000000    7  9.000000
#> [3,]    1 2.333333 3.666667    5  6.333333
#> [4,]    1 2.000000 3.000000    4  5.000000

Ahh,

I was overcomplicating it! Thanks
