Vectorization and passing a matrix as an argument

General Usage
2

Julia is interpreting your command as an attempt to broadcast over the elements of rvals and the elements of A simultaneously, but you actually want it to use the entirety of A for every call. In essence you want rvals to be treated like an array in the broadcast, but for A to be treated like a scalar so that it is passed intact to each call to energy. You can make any item behave like a scalar in broadcasting by simply wrapping it in a one-element tuple:

julia> energy.(rvals, (A,))
10×10 Array{Float64,2}:
