adding vectors and matrices

[Andreas Heitmann]

Hi,

I'm using octave for some time now, but I'm still wondering if there
is a simple way to add a fixed column vector to a number of other
column vectors stored in a matrix. Currently i'm using a loop like the
following:

        v=[1;2;3];
        for i=1:columns(x)
                y(:,i)=x(:,i)+v;
        endfor

Is it possible to compute y without a loop statement?

Regards,
