[C++] Matrix Class

[Darkwraith]

I have posted a beta version of my Matrix class.

This is a class that simulates Linear Algebra matrix operations. Please tell me of what could be done to make this class better.

[edit] This is version 1.0. A more recent version can be found toward the end of this thread.

Here is the associated .h file to this class.

Looks fine. In Inverse and Reduce you hide one local variable called lhs with another, which is not that good an idea. You could also maybe make it more efficient by having only one lhs instead of repeatedly creating and destroying them.

Just a couple of nitpicks:

You use unsigned a lot in your code, perhaps qualifying this with a sized type for readability? (Most likely long, this seems to be 4 bytes on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems).

Potentially, replacing assert() with something that will throw an exception could be useful; checking speed impact may be necessary.

I think gcc makes long 64 bit on 64-bit systems.

Thanks for the input. I am thinking of templating the class.

Once I have the project to which this belongs to done, I'll post the updated code. This way, the class should be throughly tested.

I have the my most recent version of the Matrix class.

Here is the Implementation File for the Matrix class. Please tell me of any improvements you wish to suggest.
