Opposite of CONCAT()? - DrD - 01-06-2019 02:04 PM
CONCAT(matrix,identity(n)) is used to form an intermediate result. A later operation needs to remove identity(n) from the result:
Example:
a:=[[1,3],[2,7]];
a:=CONCAT(a,identity(2));
a1:=RREF(a); // The concatenation of identity(2), and a^-1
I was hoping for something similar to these ideas, (to remove identity(n) from a concatenation):
// SUPPRESS(a1,identity(2));
// remove(identity(2),a1);
// SUB(a1,a1-identity(2));
Treating identity(n) as an object, fails.

But you have to specify where the index flag starts. I found a visualization BUG (history view)
a1 :=
[ [1,0,7,-3],
[0,1,-2,1] ]
'index':=1 [↵] "[] index start 1"
// row#1: [ 1, 0, 7, -3 ], row#2: [0, 1, -2, 1]
// col#3: [ 7, -2 ], col#4: [ -3, 1 ]
a1[:, 3..4 ] [↵] [[7,-3],[-2,1]] // ok, extract all rows from 1 to 2 and columns from 3 to 4
a1[:, 3..4 ] => a1[1 .. 0-1 ,3 .. 4] (history view) 0-1 I do not know what this means.
Here is an Bug of visualization, it should show
a1[:, 3..4 ] => a1[2 .. 1 ,3 .. 4] or a1[1 .. 2 ,3 .. 4] but not a1[1 .. 0-1 ,3 .. 4]
========================
'index':=0 [↵] "[] index start 0"
// row#0: [ 1, 0, 7, -3 ], row#1: [0, 1, -2, 1]
// col#3: [ 7, -2 ], col#4: [ -3, 1 ]
a1[:,2..3] [↵] [[7,-3],[-2,1]] // ok, extract all rows from 0 to 1 and columns from 2 to 3
a1[:,2..3] => a1[0 .. -1 ,3 .. 4] ??? [↨up] [up] [copy]=> a1[0 .. -1, 2 .. 3]
Here is an Bug of visualization, it should say
a1[:, 2..3 ] => a1[0 .. 1 ,2 .. 3] or a1[1 .. 0 ,2 .. 3] but not a1[0 .. -1 ,3 .. 4]
a1[:,3..4] [↵] [[-3],[1]] // ok, extract all rows 0 to 1 and columns from 3
