There are no built-in matrix functions in C #, but there is Powerpack F # in them.
Instead of using a third-party or open-source C # library, I wonder about copying my file to F # and exposing the useful bits to C #.
I wonder if anyone thought about it or tried it, and is this a good idea.
Should I expose it to a class or load of static functions?
Or do I need to create a C # shell class and call this call before F #? Or does F # use the C # class as input and output?
Any thoughts?
Answer below : you can use the F # library directly in C # (operators too!):
using System;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.FSharp.Math;
namespace CSharp
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
double[,] x = { { 1.0, 2.0 }, { 4.0, 5.0 } };
double[,] y = { { 1.0, 2.0 }, { 7.0, 8.0 } };
Matrix<double> m1 = MatrixModule.of_array2(x);
Matrix<double> m2 = MatrixModule.of_array2(y);
var mp = m1 * m2;
var output = mp.ToArray2();
Console.WriteLine(output.StringIt());
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
public static class Extensions
{
public static string StringIt(this double[,] array)
{
var sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int r = 0; r < array.Length / array.Rank; r++)
{
for (int c = 0; c < array.Rank; c++)
{
if (c > 0) sb.Append("\t");
sb.Append(array[r, c].ToString());
}
sb.AppendLine();
}
return sb.ToString();
}
}
}
