Libmatrix is a fast, efficient and easy to use C linear algerbra library.
This project was started to develop a linear algebra library written in the C programming language that is simple and easy to use without reducing the performance of the code
- Simple and easy to use
- Fast and memory efficient
- No explicit pointers
- Error detection
Clone the repository into your computer by executing the following command in the terminal
git clone https://github.com/prithvitewatia/matrix_h
cd in the the repository
cd matrix_h
Run the following command
make libmatrix.a
If everything runs fine you will see files libmatrix.a and matrix.o generated in the directory.
If not please make sure that you have gcc and make installed and set on the PATH.
Link to
gcc: gcc
make: make
Congrats your library is now generated
- Copy the matrix.h file and libmatrix.a to your project folder.
- Include the library in your C file by using the include directive
#include "matrix.h"- To build your C file execute the command
gcc yourCfile.c -L . -lmatrix -o yourOutputfile
- Run your file by
./yourOutputfile
Happy coding!
A program to add to matrices and check if the result is equal to third matrix.
The output of the above program
Here is another example in which we calculate rank and determinant.
Here is its output

- If x and y are two matrices do not use statements such as x=y to copy the contents of y into x. Rather use x=copy_matrix(y) to copy the contents. This is because statement x=y will make the references of x and y same and hence further changes in y will lead to changes in x.
- Also since floating point numbers are not infinitely precise therefore ieee has two representation of number 0 ie 0 and -0 . This is not a bug. This is just a way of representation in which no information is lost.
