Hi,
Today I just played with the Matrix class (file matrix.rb) to solve
linear systems.
I have the Ruby 1.6.5 Windows distribution from PragProg (archive
'ruby165-2.exe').
I verified that the 'matrix.rb' file is the same in the
'ruby-1.6.6.tar.gz' distribution.
The header of this file goes in the end of this email.
I was surprised that the class has not the method '[]=', only has the
method '[]'.
So, I can get one value of the matrix, but I cannot set a value.
^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^
A TRIVIAL (I'm just a modest Ruby user, not an hacker B-) .... )
addition to 'matrix.rb' put element 'setting' to work. I just created a
new method '[]=' as follows
##### the line in matrix.rb is about 280...
#accessing #<<<< ALREADY EXISTS
def [](i, j)
@rows[i][j]
end
# setting #<<<<< NEW METHOD...
def []=(i, j, val)
@rows[i][j] = val
end
My only question is that if there is any reason, that I cannot see,
for the method '[]=' not being implemented before ???????
(could Keiju ISHITSUKA reply, please). Is there any danger in
setting an element in the matrix?
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Greetings
J. Augusto

same as Ruby 1.6.6):
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
