The Vector
class represents a mathematical vector, which is useful in its own right, and also constitutes a row or column of a Matrix
.
Method

To create a Vector:
-
Vector.elements
(array, copy = true) -
Vector.basis
(size: n, index: k)
To access elements:
To set elements:
To enumerate the elements:

INSTANCE CREATION
# File tmp/rubies/ruby-2.7.6/lib/matrix.rb, line 1898
def Vector.[](*array)
new convert_to_array(array, false)
end
Creates a Vector
from a list of elements.
Vector[7, 4, ...]
# File tmp/rubies/ruby-2.7.6/lib/matrix.rb, line 1915
def Vector.basis(size:, index:)
raise ArgumentError, "invalid size (#{size} for 1..)" if size < 1
raise ArgumentError, "invalid index (#{index} for 0...#{size})" unless 0 <= index && index < size
array = Array.new(size, 0)
array[index] = 1
new convert_to_array(array, false)
end
Returns a standard basis n
-vector, where k is the index.

def Vector.elements(array, copy = true)
new convert_to_array(array, copy)
end
Creates a vector from an Array
. The optional second argument specifies whether the array itself or a copy is used internally.

Returns true
iff all of vectors are linearly independent.

The coerce method provides support for Ruby type coercion. This coercion mechanism is used by Ruby to handle mixed-type numeric operations: it is intended to find a compatible common type between the two operands of the operator. See also Numeric#coerce
