Be more specific, please. There are many different techniques you can use to
write MATLAB code; loops and vectorization are two such techniques.

So you want to take each element of a, multiply it by its reflection in the
main diagonal, and add up all the resulting values?
eachTerm = a.*a.';
b = sum(eachTerm(:));
The first line performs all the operations a(i, j)*a(j, i) at once using
elementwise multiplication and the nonconjugate transpose (in case a
contains some complex values in your real problem, of which this is a
simplified example.) The second line performs the summation.
