Matrix class in java

I needed help with creating created a Matrix class in java so I posted on stackoverflow. Eventually I figured it out. Since I could not delete this question I decided to put my finished Matrix Class online. Try to make it your own if your going to take something from this.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Matrix{

//State Variables: Private state varibles were created so that they could not be accidently accessed. Each iteration of the Matrix Class with have it's own m,numberOfRows and numberOfColumns.

private double[][] m;
private int numberOfRows; private int numberOfColumns;

//Constructors: Two constructors were created. The first, takes two ints as parameters for the shape of the matrix and initializes the elements to 0. The second has no parameters, but instead asks the user to supply the shape and element values via scanner.

public Matrix(int rows, int columns)
{
    m = new double[rows][columns];

    for(int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
    {
        for(int j = 0; j < columns; j++)
        {
            m[i][j] = 0;
        }
    }
}

 public Matrix()
{
    Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println();
    System.out.print("Please enter the number of rows: "); numberOfRows = keyboard.nextInt();
    System.out.print("Please enter the number of columns: "); numberOfColumns = keyboard.nextInt();
    m = new double[numberOfRows][numberOfColumns];
    System.out.println("Please assign the following elements: ");
    for(int i = 0; i < numberOfRows; i++)
        {
            for(int j = 0; j < numberOfColumns; j++)
                {
                    System.out.print("[" + i + "]" + "[" + j + "]: ");
                    m[i][j] = keyboard.nextDouble();
                }
        }
}



//Accessors: Private accessors were created in order to retrieve data for use elsewhere in the class.

private int getRows(){return numberOfRows;}
private int getColumns(){return numberOfColumns;}
private double getElement(int rows, int columns){return m[rows][columns];}

//Mutators: A private void mutator was created so that the value of a particular element within m, could be asigned a value later within the addition/subtraction/multiplication methods.

private void assignElement(double value, int i, int j){m[i][j] = value;}


//Methods: Addition, subtraction and mutiplication operations were written as methods in order to operate on matricices. Both static and non-static methods were constructed. 
//The static versions take two matricies as parameters, while the non-static counterparts only take one and operate it against m. 
//Within all six methods a test is performed in order to check whether or not the two matrcicies are compatible or not. 
//For addiition and subtraction the number of rows and columns must be the same for both matricies and a temporary matrix is created to match those parameters. 
//For multiplication, the number of columns of the first matrix must be equivalent to the number of rows of the second matrix and a temporary matrix is created with the number of rows of the first matrix and 
//the number of columns of the second matrix as parameters. If the matricies are not compatable an error message is printed.

public static Matrix staticAdd(Matrix x, Matrix y)
{
    Matrix z = new Matrix(x.getRows(), x.getColumns());
    double value;
    System.out.println();

What is the class of a matrix?

The Matrix class is a class contained by all actual classes in the Matrix package. It is a “virtual” class.

What is matrix in Java?

What is a Matrix / 2D Array in Java? “A matrix is a collection of numbers arranged into a fixed number of rows and columns.” Usually these are real numbers. In general, matrices can contain complex numbers but for the sake of simplicity we will only use whole numbers here.

How do you create a matrix in Java?

Example. public class Print2DArray { public static void main(String[] args) { final int[][] matrix = { { 1, 2, 3 }, { 4, 5, 6 }, { 7, 8, 9 } }; for (int i = 0; i < matrix. length; i++) { //this equals to the row in our matrix. for (int j = 0; j < matrix[i].

What is matrix addition in Java?

We can add two matrices in java using binary + operator. A matrix is also known as array of arrays. We can add, subtract and multiply matrices. To subtract two matrices, use - operator. Let's see a simple example to add two matrices of 3 rows and 3 columns.

Though the code practiced by you could be improved in still many aspects(you could try reaching codereview.stackexchange.com for which), but to just get you rid of the error that you are getting. You can change to using -

public static Matrix add(Matrix m1, Matrix m2) {
    Matrix m3 = new Matrix(m1.getRows(),m1.getCols());
    for(int i = 0; i < m1.getRows(); i++) {
        for(int j = 0; j < m2.getCols(); j++) {
            m3.m[i][j] = m1.m[i][j] + m2.m[i][j]; // m is the double[][] array for each Matrix instance
        }
    }
    return m3;
}
