+function [hm]=harmean(x,orien)
+ //This function computes the harmonic mean of a vector or matrix x.
+ //
+ //For a vector or matrix x, hm=harmean(x) returns in scalar hm the
+ //harmonic mean of all the entries of x.
+ //
+ //hm=harmean(x,'r')(or, equivalently, hm=harmean(x,1)) returns in each
+ //entry of the row vector hm the harmonic mean of each column of x.
+ //
+ //hm=harmean(x,'c')(or, equivalently, hm=harmean(x,2)) returns in each
+ //entry of the column vector hm the harmonic mean of each row of x.
+ //
+ //Nota: In the computation of the harmonic mean we consider only the non
+ //zero values of x.
