[julia-users] Why is multiplying an array ok, but dividing is not?

[David McInnis]

Using julia 0.3.     

I'm just beginning to learn julia..

So..
10 * [1:3]     is fine
10 / [1:3]     is an error
10 ^ [1:3]    also erroneous

Why?   This seems strange to me.

I did figure out I could use something like:    broadcast(/, 10, [1:])
so the functionality is there, but why would  /  behave differently than  * 
 ?

Thanks!
