Scala + Breeze - How to operate on indexed elements?

Question

I would like to perform an element-wise operation like:

matrixOne(indices) :*= matrixTwo(indices)

i.e.

matrixOne(indices) = matrixOne(indices) :* matrixTwo(indices)

Although I don't believe that syntax works, and I don't see an easy way of doing this. Is there a simple way that doesn't involve a loop over the elements?

Thanks!

Answer 1

But it does work!
