Q48. If you run this piece of code, you will get an error. Why?

a = [0 1 2 3; 4 5 6 7];

  •  You are attempting to multiply a non-square matrix by itself, causing a dimension mismatch.
  •  MATLAB does not allow you to square all the elements in the matrix in a single operation.
  •  You must use the ** operator instead of the ^ operator.
  •  You cannot square matrices that have a 0 as the first element.
