3pts Create a method called "multiply" that takes a matrix and multiplies (dot product) this matrix against a matrix passed in and returns the result. If the shapes are incompatible, print "Shapes are incompatible" and return None. I have doubt in above points that multiplies this matrix against a matrix passed in. Do we need to pass two matrix in constructor? Can you please provide us sample input and sample output for this. |

As of my understanding, for "2pts Create a constructor (__init__) that takes a Python list (1 or 2 dimensional) and stores in an instance variable the shape of the matrix (call it "shape", it should be a tuple) and an instance variable of the list that was passed in." we have to create a instance variable list which represents the matrixA. And lets assume that the matrix which you are passing it to multiply method is called matrixB ( def multiply(self, matrixB) ... ), then the return value of multiply method must be matrixA*matrixB ( dot product ) if the shape of both matrices are compatible. Note: The instance variable matrixA must be set while creating instance of Matrix class. |

I won't do sample code for this, but each Matrix object keeps track of its own values. When you call the multiply method from a matrix, pass in another matrix, and use the values stored in the first matrix (they were passed in when you created it; your __init__ method takes a list as a parameter) object along with the matrix passed in to get the result. It's like Java's BigInteger. Last edited by msargent at

Can we use numpy or any other python modules? Thanks. |

No. The point was to get you to figure out how the multiplications go. Using numpy makes it trivial. |
