Installation

This describes the installation process using cmake. As pre-requisites, you'll need git and cmake installed.

# Check out the library.
$ git clone https://github.com/mlcpp/Matrix.git && cd Matrix

# Make a build directory to place the build output.
$ cmake -E make_directory "build"

# Generate build system files with cmake.
$ cmake -E chdir "build" cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../

# Build the library.
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -S . -B "build"

On a unix system, the build directory should now look something like this:

/Matrix
  /build
    /examples
      /abs
      /addition
      ...

Development

Linux

Prerequisites

  1. C++ compiler (gcc or clang)
  2. git
  3. clang-format
  4. make (for Makefiles)
  5. cmake (version 3.13 or higher)
# Check out the library.
$ git clone https://github.com/mlcpp/Matrix.git && cd Matrix

# Create build directory.
$ mkdir build

# Enter into build directory.
$ cd build

# Run CMake. This step will generate a Makefile in the build/ folder.
$ cmake ../

# Compile all files and place the binaries inside build/examples/ folder.
$ make

$ make <file_name_without_extension>

Windows

Prerequisites

  1. C++ compiler (mingw-gcc)
  2. git (msysgit)
  3. clang-format

Printing/Viewing

A number of methods are provided to print/view a Matrix object in different ways.

Function Parameters Return value Description
Matrix.print()

0 Parameters

void Prints the whole Matrix object onto the console.
Matrix.head()

0 Parameters

void Prints first 5 rows of the Matrix object onto the console.

Matrix.view()

4 Parameters:
Type: int; int; int; int
ob: Starting row index; Ending row index; Starting column index; Ending column index

void Prints the Matrix object according to the indices provided.

Indexing

Indexing can be used to get or assign value to a particular element.

For example, let there is a Matrix object named mat. If we want to get the value at index (5,3) we can do this as follows:

double val = mat(5,3);

Similarly, if we want to assign the value to index (5,3) we can do this by:

mat(5,3) = 10.54;

Operators

Support for almost all standard C++ operators is provided. This includes:

  • Arithmetic operators (+, -, \*, /)
  • Compound assignment operatos (+=, -=, \*=, /=)
  • Increment and decrement operators (++, --)
  • Relational and Comparison operators (==, !=, <, >, <=, >=)
  • Unary Minus (-)

Broadcasting

Broadcasting is in-built in the Basic Mathematical operations i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Following binary operations are possible:

  • Matrix = Matrix @ Matrix
  • Matrix = Matrix @ Vector
  • Matrix = Matrix @ Scalar

where, @ is any operator from (+, -, *, /)

Note: Vector is a Matrix object where row length or column length is equal to 1.

Following unary operations are possible:

  • Matrix = @Matrix

where, @ is any operator from (-)
