Macro Definition Documentation

◆ RC_MATRIX_INITIALIZER

#define RC_MATRIX_INITIALIZER
Value:
{\
.rows = 0,\
.cols = 0,\
.d = NULL,\
.initialized = 0}

Typedef Documentation

◆ rc_matrix_t

typedef struct rc_matrix_t rc_matrix_t

Struct containing the state of a matrix and a pointer to dynamically allocated memory to hold its contents.

Set and read values directly with this code:

matrix.d[row][col] = new_value; // set value in the matrix
value = matrix.d[row][col]; // get value from the matrix

Function Documentation

◆ rc_matrix_add()

int rc_matrix_add ( rc_matrix_t  A,
rc_matrix_t  B,
rc_matrix_t C 
)

Adds matrices A+B and places the result in C.

The original contents of C are safely freed if necessary to avoid memory leaks. Use rc_matrix_add_inplace if you do not need to keep the contents of one of these matrices after addition.

Parameters
[in]AFirst matrix
[in]Bsecond matrix
[out]Cresult
Returns
Returns 0 on success or -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_add_inplace()

int rc_matrix_add_inplace ( rc_matrix_t A,
rc_matrix_t  B 
)

Adds matrix A to B and places the result back in A.

The original contents of A are lost. Use rc_matrix_add if you wish to keep the contents of both matrix A and B after addition.

Parameters
AFirst matrix for addition and holder of the result
[in]BSecond matrix for addition
Returns
Returns 0 on success or -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_alloc()

int rc_matrix_alloc ( rc_matrix_t A,
int  rows,
int  cols 
)

Allocates memory for matrix A to have size rows&cols.

If A is initially the right size, nothing is done and the data in A is preserved. If A is uninitialized or of the wrong size then any existing memory is freed and new memory is allocated, helping to prevent accidental memory leaks. The contents of the new matrix is not guaranteed to be anything in particular as the memory is allocated with malloc. Will only be unsuccessful if rows&cols are invalid or there is insufficient memory available.

Parameters
APointer to user's matrix struct
[in]rowsnumber of rows
[in]colsnumber of columns
Returns
0 on success, -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_determinant()

double rc_matrix_determinant ( rc_matrix_t  A)

Calculates the determinant of square matrix A.

Parameters
[in]Ainput matrix
Returns
Returns the determinant or prints error message and returns -1.0f of error.

◆ rc_matrix_diagonal()

int rc_matrix_diagonal ( rc_matrix_t A,
rc_vector_t  v 
)

Generates a diagonal matrix with the elements of specified vector v.

Resizes A to be a square matrix with the same number of rows and columns as vector v's length. The diagonal entries of A are then populated with the contents of v and the off-diagonal entries are set to 0. The original contents of A are freed to avoid memory leaks.

Parameters
APointer to user's matrix struct
[in]vvector of diagonal entries
Returns
0 on success, -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_duplicate()

int rc_matrix_duplicate ( rc_matrix_t  A,
rc_matrix_t B 
)

Duplicates the contents of matrix A and into matrix B.

If B is already the right size then its contents are overwritten. If B is unallocated or is of the wrong size then the memory is freed and new memory is allocated to hold the duplicate of A.

Parameters
[in]AMatrix to be duplicated
[out]Bnew matrix
Returns
0 on success, -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_empty()

rc_matrix_t rc_matrix_empty ( void  )

Returns an rc_matrix_t with no allocated memory and the initialized flag set to 0.

This is essential for initializing rc_matrix_t structs when they are declared since local variables declared in a function without global variable scope in C are not guaranteed to be zeroed out which can lead to bad memory pointers and segfaults if not handled carefully. We recommend initializing all matrices with this before using rc_matrix_alloc or any other function.

Returns
Returns an empty rc_matrix_t

◆ rc_matrix_free()

int rc_matrix_free ( rc_matrix_t A)

Frees the memory allocated for a matrix A.

Also sets the dimensions and initialized flag to 0 to indicate to other functions that A no longer points to allocated memory and cannot be used until more memory is allocated such as with rc_matrix_alloc or rc_matrix_zeros. Will only fail and return -1 if it is passed a NULL pointer.

Parameters
APointer to user's matrix struct
Returns
0 on success, -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_identity()

int rc_matrix_identity ( rc_matrix_t A,
int  dim 
)

Resizes A to be a square identity matrix with dimensions dim-by-dim.

Any existing memory allocated for A is freed if necessary to avoid memory leaks before new memory is allocated for the specified dimension.

Parameters
APointer to user's matrix struct
[in]dimThe dimension of one side of square matrix
Returns
0 on success, -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_left_multiply_inplace()

int rc_matrix_left_multiply_inplace ( rc_matrix_t  A,
rc_matrix_t B 
)

Multiplies A*B and puts the result back in the place of B.

B is resized and its original contents are freed if necessary to avoid memory leaks.

Parameters
[in]Aleft matrix in the multiplication
Bright matrix in the multiplication and holder of the result.
Returns
Returns 0 on success or -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_multiply()

int rc_matrix_multiply ( rc_matrix_t  A,
rc_matrix_t  B,
rc_matrix_t C 
)

Multiplies A*B=C.

C is resized and its original contents are freed if necessary to avoid memory leaks.

Parameters

Returns 0 on success or -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_outer_product()

int rc_matrix_outer_product ( rc_vector_t  v1,
rc_vector_t  v2,
rc_matrix_t A 
)

◆ rc_matrix_print()

int rc_matrix_print ( rc_matrix_t  A)

Prints the contents of matrix A to stdout in decimal notation with 4 decimal places.

Not recommended for very large matrices as rows will typically linewrap if the terminal window is not wide enough.

Parameters

0 on success, -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_print_sci()

int rc_matrix_print_sci ( rc_matrix_t  A)

0 on success, -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_random()

int rc_matrix_random ( rc_matrix_t A,
int  rows,
int  cols 
)

Generates a matrix populated with random numbers between -1 and 1.

Resizes A to be a matrix with the specified number of rows and columns and populates the new memory with random numbers evenly distributed between -1.0 and 1.0. Any existing memory allocated for A is freed if necessary to avoid memory leaks.

rc_matrix_t  A,
rc_vector_t c 
)

Multiplies row vector v times matrix A and places the result in row vector c.

◆ rc_matrix_times_scalar()

int rc_matrix_times_scalar ( rc_matrix_t A,
double  s 
)

Multiplies every entry in A by scalar value s.

It is not strictly necessary for A to be provided as a pointer since a copy of the struct A would also contain the correct pointer to the original matrix's allocated memory. However, in this library we use the convention of passing an rc_vector_t struct or rc_matrix_t struct as a pointer when its data is to be modified by the function, and as a normal argument when it is only to be read by the function.

Parameters
AMatrix to be modified
[in]sscalar to multiply by

Returns 0 on success or -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_transpose()

int rc_matrix_transpose ( rc_matrix_t  A,
rc_matrix_t T 
)

Transposes the contents of A and places the result in T.

Resizes matrix T to hold the transposed contents of A and leaves A untouched. Original contents of T are safely freed and lost. If the original contents of A are not needed after transposing then use rc_matrix_transpose_inplace instead.

Parameters
[in]Ainput matrix struct
[out]Tresulting transpose
Returns
Returns 0 on success or -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_transpose_inplace()

int rc_matrix_transpose_inplace ( rc_matrix_t A)

Transposes matrix A in place.

Use as an alternative to rc_matrix_transpose if you no longer have need for the original contents of matrix A.

Returns 0 on success or -1 on failure.

◆ rc_matrix_zero_out()

int rc_matrix_zero_out ( rc_matrix_t A)

◆ rc_matrix_zeros()

int rc_matrix_zeros ( rc_matrix_t A,
int  rows,
int  cols 
)

Resizes matrix A and allocates memory for a matrix with specified rows & columns. The new memory is pre-filled with zeros using calloc. Any existing memory allocated for A is freed if necessary to avoid memory leaks.

Parameters
APointer to user's matrix struct
[in]rowsnumber of rows
[in]colsnumber of columns
Returns
0 on success, -1 on failure.
