How can i index a matrix to do implicit multiplication to each value in a row with a vector?

I have a matrix, A of size (a x b) and a vector s of size (1 x b) and I want to multiply each row of A with s.

I am trying to use a for loop to index each of the 'a' rows of matrix A and then index along the 'b' columns and multiply each value with the corresponding index of vecor s. This should then return a new matrix B that is the same size as matrix A, however I cannot get this to work. This is my code;

A = rand(8,3);

s = rand(1,3);

for i = 1:size(A,1)

c = A(i,:);

for ii = 1:size(A,2)

x(ii) = c(ii)*s(ii);

end

end

Please note: I do not want to simply multiply the two together, I am aware that i can transpose and get a resulting a x 1 size vector - this is not the solution I want to achieve.

A(:,1:3).*s

Given that "A of size (a x b) and a vector s of size (1 x b)", then the indexing is not required:

A.*s

(Of course this assumes R2016b or later)
