Python Program to Find Maximum Scalar Product of Two Vectors in an Array
Maximum Scalar Product of two Vectors
In this section we learn how to Find Maximum Scalar Product of Two Vectors in an Array using Python.
Scalar product of two vectors is also known as the dot product. Dot product is an algebraic expression which takes two equal sized vectors and returns a single scalar.
Lets say we have two arrays arr1 [1,3,4,2] and arr2 [2,4,3,5] , for finding the maximum scalar product of arrays we need to multiply the minimum value of arr1 to the minimum value of arr2 and add all these multiplied value. So, here we need to sort both the array 1 and array 2 in ascending order i.e.we get arr1 [1,2,3,4] and arr2 [2,3,4,5]
Maximum dot product = 1*2 + 2*3 + 3*4 + 4*5 = 40

Algorithm
- Step 1 : Inputs from user ( size of array, array 1 elements, array 2 elements )
- Step 2 : Sorting arr 1 and arr 2 in the ascending order.
- Step 3 : Call maxScalar(arr1,arr2,n) function and print the result.
maxScalar(arr1,arr2,n):
- Initialize a variable sumVariable with value 0 for storing the added values
- Traverse each index from 0 to n
- Multiply the same index element from arr1 and arr2 and add it to the sumVariable variable.
- return sumVariable variable
Python Code
m
Output : Enter the size of Array: 4 Enter the elements of First Array 1 3 4 2 Enter the elements of Second Array 2 4 3 5 Maximum scalar product of two vectors : 40
