4.12.3 matrix type cast
Syntax:
matrix ( expression )
matrix ( expression, int_n, int_m )
Type:
- matrix
Purpose:
- Converts expression to a matrix, where expression must be of type int,
intmat, intvec, number, poly, ideal, vector, module, or matrix. If
int_n and int_m are supplied, then they specify the dimension of the
matrix. Otherwise, the size (resp. dimensions) of the matrix
is determined by the size (resp. dimensions) of the
expression.
Example:
| ring r=32003,(x,y,z),dp;
matrix(x);
==> _[1,1]=x
matrix(x, 1, 2);
==> _[1,1]=x
==> _[1,2]=0
matrix(intmat(intvec(1,2,3,4), 2, 2));
==> _[1,1]=1
==> _[1,2]=2
==> _[2,1]=3
==> _[2,2]=4
matrix(_, 2, 3);
==> _[1,1]=1
==> _[1,2]=2
==> _[1,3]=0
==> _[2,1]=3
==> _[2,2]=4
==> _[2,3]=0
matrix(_, 2, 1);
==> _[1,1]=1
==> _[2,1]=3
