It returns the nonconjugate transpose of A, that is, interchanges the row and column index for each element. If A contains complex elements, then A.' does not affect the sign of the imaginary parts. For example, if A(3,2) is 1+2i and B = A.', then the element B(2,3) is also 1+2i.
The complex conjugate transpose operator, A', also negates the sign of the imaginary part of the complex elements in A
