public interface MatrixAccess
extends Table

This interface defines the methods for accessing entries in a matrix. Indices count from 1, e.g., get(1,1). This is what mathematicians (not programmers) are accustomed to. Invalid access such as using out-of-range indices or altering immutable matrix will lead to MatrixAccessException. The only way to change a matrix is by calling set(int, int, double). Other operations that "change" the matrix actually creates a new and independent copy.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
double	get(int i, int j) Get the matrix entry at [i,j].
void	set(int i, int j, double value) Set the matrix entry at [i,j] to a value.

Method Detail

set

void set(int i,
         int j,
         double value)
  throws MatrixAccessException

Set the matrix entry at [i,j] to a value. This is the only method that may change a matrix.

Parameters:

i - the row index

j - the column index

value - the value to set A[i,j] to

Throws:

MatrixAccessException - if i or j is out of range

get

double get(int i,
           int j)
    throws MatrixAccessException

Get the matrix entry at [i,j].

Parameters:

i - the row index

j - the column index

Returns:

A[i,j]

Throws:

MatrixAccessException - if i or j is out of range
