cumprod - cumulative product

### Calling Sequence

  `y=cumprod(x)`
  `y=cumprod(x,'r') or y=cumprod(x,1)`
  `y=cumprod(x,'c') or y=cumprod(x,2)`
  `y=cumprod(x,'m')`

### Parameters

- `x` : vector or matrix (real or complex)
- `y` : vector or matrix (real or complex)

### Description

For a vector or a matrix `x` , `y=cumprod(x)` returns in `y` the cumulative product of all the entries of `x` taken columnwise.

`y=cumprod(x,'c')` (or, equivalently, `y=cumprod(x,2)` ) returns in `y` the cumulative elementwise product of the columns of `x` : `y(i,:)=cumprod(x(i,:))`

`y=cumprod(x,'r')` (or, equivalently, `y=cumprod(x,2)` ) returns in `y` the cumulative elementwise product of the rows of `x` : `y(:,i)=cumprod(x(:,i))` .

`y=cumprod(x,'m')` is the cumulative product along the first non singleton dimension of `x` (for compatibility with Matlab).

### Examples

    A=[1,2;3,4];
    cumprod(A)
    cumprod(A,'r')
    cumprod(A,'c')
    rand('seed',0);
    a=rand(3,4);
    [m,n]=size(a);
    w=zeros(a);
    w(1,:)=a(1,:);
    for k=2:m;w(k,:)=w(k-1,:).*a(k,:);end;w-cumprod(a,'r')
