Title

    mm_cond() -- Matrix version of the conditional operator


Syntax

        transmorphic matrix  mm_cond(a, b, c)


    where a is a real matrix and b and c are matrices of any type (as long as
    their types are the same).


Description

    mm_cond() is a matrix version of the scalar conditional operator (see 
    [M-2] op_conditional).

    When a, b, and c are not scalar, mm_cond() returns element-by-element
    results. a, b, and c are required to be r-conformable (see 
    [M-6] glossary).


Remarks

    None.


Conformability

    The arguments have to be r-conformable (see help [M-6] glossary).
    Returned is a matrix of max(argument rows) rows and max(argument columns)
    columns containing element-by-element calculated results.


Diagnostics

    None.
