Hello, I have to multiply each row of a matrix by a scalar contained in a vector, it's somthing like this

a=rand(3,7);
b=(1:7);
for i=1:7
a(:,i)=a(:,i).*b(i)
end

I have to do something like this but with very large data in a simulation so the "for" makes it last so long, so, How avoid it?

I don't know if you will be able to get faster, but you could use

a = bsxfun(@times, a, b);
