siddhpant/matrix-elementary-operations

Performing elementary row or column operations on a matrix on the instructions of the user and printing the steps to a text file. A bonus identity matrix can also be used if the user wants to carry out operations to find an inverse.

Matrix Elementary Operations

This program performs elementary operations on the square matrix, both provided by the user. Also outputs to a file.

Users can also perform the same on an elementary matrix if they want. Particularly useful when finding inverses using operations.

NOTE : This is not an automatic inverse finder!

Compilation

g++ -std=c++14 Print/help.cpp Print/print_matrix.cpp Row/row_op.cpp Column/column_op.cpp matrix-main.cpp -o matrix_elementary_operations

(C++14 because of the date-time library used. The codebase itself is compatible with C++17.)

Use

./matrix_elementary_operations

Run with -h for help ./matrix_elementary_operations -h

You can find your operations, along with matrices, logged in a text file named Matrix [YY/MM/DD] [HH:MM:SS].txt. Time is in UTC.

Used Howard Hinnant's free, open-source header-only datetime library for date and time. It is available as Print/date.h in this repository.
