Description

=begin
I believe the following simple constructor could be a helpful addition to matrix.rb

class Matrix

Creates a matrix of +row_size+ x +column_size+.

It fills the values by calling the given block,

passing the current row and column.

m = Matrix.build(2, 4) {|row, col| col - row }

=> Matrix[[0, 1, 2, 3], [-1, 0, 1, 2]]

m = Matrix.build(3) { rand }

=> a 3x3 matrix with random elements

def self.build(row_size, column_size = row_size)
raise ArgumentError if row_size < 0 || column_size < 0
return to_enum :build, row_size, column_size unless block_given?
rows = row_size.times.map do |i|
column_size.times.map do |j|
yield i, j
end
end
new rows, column_size
end
end
=end
