  DOT_PRODUCT (vector-a, vector-b)

  Class:  Transformational function - Generic

  The "vector"s are rank-one arrays of integer, real, complex, or
  logical type.

  The result is a scalar; its type depends on "vector"s.

  If "vector-a" is of type integer or real, the result value is SUM
  (vector-a * vector-b).

  If "vector-a" is of type complex, the result value is SUM (CONJG
  (vector-a) * vector-b).

  If "vector-a" is of type logical, the result has the value ANY
  (vector-a .AND.  vector-b).

  If either rank-one array has size zero, the result is zero if the
  array is of numeric type, and false if the array is of logical
  type.

  Examples:

  DOT_PRODUCT ((/1, 2, 3/), (/3, 4, 5/)) has the value 26 (calculated
  as follows:

    ((1 x 3) + (2 x 4) + (3 x 5)) = 26)

  DOT_PRODUCT ((/ (1.0, 2.0), (2.0, 3.0) /), (/ (1.0, 1.0), ((1.0,
  4.0) /))) has the value (17.0, 4.0).

  DOT_PRODUCT ((/ .TRUE., .FALSE.  /), (/ .FALSE., .TRUE.  /)) has
  the value false.
