# MatProductSymbolic

Perform the symbolic portion of a matrix-matrix product operation, this creates a data structure for use with the numerical product to be done with `MatProductNumeric()`

## Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode MatProductSymbolic(Mat mat)

Collective

## Input/Output Parameter

- mat - the matrix whose values are to be computed via a matrix-matrix product operation

## Note

`MatProductSetFromOptions()` must have been called on `mat` before calling this function
