I think that the funtion, total, can do this. A second parameter in total
indicates a dimension to sum over --- i.e., total(z,1) sums over the first
dimension. So you could replace the loop with two lines:
output = total(productarray,1)
output = total(output,2)

or if you prefer 1 line, output = total(total(productarray,1),2)

Good luck!
