# Matrix (`lyng.matrix`)
`lyng.matrix` adds dense immutable `Matrix` and `Vector` types for linear algebra.
Import it when you need matrix or vector arithmetic:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
```
## Construction
Create vectors from a flat list and matrices from nested row lists:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val v: Vector = vector([1, 2, 3])
val m: Matrix = matrix([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
assertEquals([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], v.toList())
assertEquals([[1.0, 2.0, 3.0], [4.0, 5.0, 6.0]], m.toList())
```
Factory methods are also available:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val z: Vector = Vector.zeros(3)
val i: Matrix = Matrix.identity(3)
val m: Matrix = Matrix.zeros(2, 4)
```
All elements are standard double-precision numeric values internally.
## Shapes
Matrices may have any rectangular geometry:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val a: Matrix = matrix([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
assertEquals(2, a.rows)
assertEquals(3, a.cols)
assertEquals([2, 3], a.shape)
assertEquals(false, a.isSquare)
```
Vectors expose:
- `size`
- `length` as an alias of `size`
## Matrix Operations
Supported matrix operations:
- `+` and `-` for element-wise matrix arithmetic
- `*` for matrix-matrix product
- `*` and `/` by a scalar
- `transpose()`
- `trace()`
- `rank()`
- `determinant()`
- `inverse()`
- `solve(rhs)` for `Vector` or `Matrix` right-hand sides
Example:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val a: Matrix = matrix([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
val b: Matrix = matrix([[7, 8], [9, 10], [11, 12]])
val product: Matrix = a * b
assertEquals([[58.0, 64.0], [139.0, 154.0]], product.toList())
assertEquals([[1.0, 4.0], [2.0, 5.0], [3.0, 6.0]], a.transpose().toList())
```
Inverse and solve:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val a: Matrix = matrix([[4, 7], [2, 6]])
val rhs: Vector = vector([1, 0])
val inv: Matrix = a.inverse()
val x: Vector = a.solve(rhs)
assert(abs(a.determinant() - 10.0) < 1e-9)
assert(abs(inv.get(0, 0) - 0.6) < 1e-9)
assert(abs(x.get(0) - 0.6) < 1e-9)
```
## Vector Operations
Supported vector operations:
- `+` and `-`
- scalar `*` and `/`
- `dot(other)`
- `norm()`
- `normalize()`
- `cross(other)` for 3D vectors
- `outer(other)` producing a matrix
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val a: Vector = vector([1, 2, 3])
val b: Vector = vector([2, 0, 0])
assertEquals(2.0, a.dot(b))
assertEquals([0.2672612419124244, 0.5345224838248488, 0.8017837257372732], a.normalize().toList())
```
## Indexing and Slicing
`Matrix` supports both method-style indexing and bracket syntax.
Scalar access:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val m: Matrix = matrix([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
assertEquals(6.0, m.get(1, 2))
assertEquals(6.0, m[1, 2])
```
Bracket indexing accepts two selectors: `[row, col]`.
Each selector may be either:
- an `Int`
- a `Range`
Examples:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val m: Matrix = matrix([[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], [9, 10, 11, 12]])
assertEquals(7.0, m[1, 2])
val columnSlice: Matrix = m[0..2, 2]
val topLeft: Matrix = m[0..1, 0..1]
val tail: Matrix = m[1.., 1..]
assertEquals([[3.0], [7.0], [11.0]], columnSlice.toList())
assertEquals([[1.0, 2.0], [5.0, 6.0]], topLeft.toList())
assertEquals([[6.0, 7.0, 8.0], [10.0, 11.0, 12.0]], tail.toList())
```
Shape rules:
- `m[Int, Int]` returns a `Real`
- `m[Range, Int]` returns an `Nx1` `Matrix`
- `m[Int, Range]` returns a `1xM` `Matrix`
- `m[Range, Range]` returns a submatrix
Open-ended ranges are supported:
- `m[..1, ..1]`
- `m[1.., 1..]`
- `m[.., 2]`
Stepped ranges are not supported in matrix slicing.
Slices currently return new matrices, not views.
## Rows and Columns
If you want plain lists instead of a sliced matrix:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val a: Matrix = matrix([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
assertEquals([4.0, 5.0, 6.0], a.row(1))
assertEquals([2.0, 5.0], a.column(1))
```
## Backend Notes
The matrix module uses a platform-specific backend where available and falls back to pure Kotlin where needed.
The public Lyng API stays the same across platforms.

If you truly need the full `Scope` (e.g., for low-level interop), use `requireScope()` explicitly.
### 4.5) Indexers from Kotlin: `getAt` and `putAt`
Lyng bracket syntax is dispatched through `getAt` and `putAt`.
That means:
- `x[i]` calls `getAt(index)`
- `x[i] = value` calls `putAt(index, value)` or `setAt(index, value)`
- field-like `x["name"]` also uses the same index path unless you expose a real field/property
For Kotlin-backed classes, bind indexers as ordinary methods named `getAt` and `putAt`:
```kotlin
moduleScope.eval("""
extern class Grid {
override fun getAt(index: List<Int>): Int
override fun putAt(index: List<Int>, value: Int): void
}
""".trimIndent())
moduleScope.bind("Grid") {
init { _ -> data = IntArray(4) }
addFun("getAt") {
val index = args.requiredArg<ObjList>(0)
val row = (index.list[0] as ObjInt).value.toInt()
val col = (index.list[1] as ObjInt).value.toInt()
val data = (thisObj as ObjInstance).data as IntArray
ObjInt.of(data[row * 2 + col].toLong())
}
addFun("putAt") {
val index = args.requiredArg<ObjList>(0)
val value = args.requiredArg<ObjInt>(1).value.toInt()
val row = (index.list[0] as ObjInt).value.toInt()
val col = (index.list[1] as ObjInt).value.toInt()
val data = (thisObj as ObjInstance).data as IntArray
data[row * 2 + col] = value
ObjVoid
}
}
```
Usage from Lyng:
```lyng
val g = Grid()
g[0, 1] = 42
assertEquals(42, g[0, 1])
```
Important rule: multiple selectors inside brackets are packed into one index object.
So:
- `x[i]` passes `i`
- `x[i, j]` passes a `List` containing `[i, j]`
- `x[i, j, k]` passes `[i, j, k]`
This applies equally to:
- Kotlin-backed classes
- Lyng classes overriding `getAt`
- `dynamic { get { ... } set { ... } }`
If you want multi-axis slicing semantics, decode that list yourself in `getAt`.
### 5) Add Kotlin‑backed fields
If you need a simple field (with a value) instead of a computed property, use `createField`. This adds a field to the class that will be present in all its instances.

## Linear algebra: `lyng.matrix`
For vectors and dense matrices, import `lyng.matrix`:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
```
It provides:
- `Vector`
- `Matrix`
- `vector(values)`
- `matrix(rows)`
Core operations include:
- matrix addition and subtraction
- matrix-matrix multiplication
- matrix-vector multiplication
- transpose
- determinant
- inverse
- linear solve
- vector dot, norm, normalize, cross, outer product
Example:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val a: Matrix = matrix([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
val b: Matrix = matrix([[7, 8], [9, 10], [11, 12]])
val product: Matrix = a * b
assertEquals([[58.0, 64.0], [139.0, 154.0]], product.toList())
```
Matrices also support two-axis bracket indexing and slicing:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val m: Matrix = matrix([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]])
assertEquals(6.0, m[1, 2])

## Language Features
### Matrix and Vector Module (`lyng.matrix`)
Lyng now ships a dense linear algebra module with immutable double-precision `Matrix` and `Vector` types.
It provides:
- `matrix([[...]])` and `vector([...])`
- matrix multiplication
- matrix inversion
- determinant, trace, rank
- solving `A * x = b`
- vector operations such as `dot`, `normalize`, `cross`, and `outer`
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val a: Matrix = matrix([[4, 7], [2, 6]])
val inv: Matrix = a.inverse()
assert(abs(inv.get(0, 0) - 0.6) < 1e-9)
```
Matrices also support Lyng-style slicing:
```lyng
import lyng.matrix
val m: Matrix = matrix([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]])
assertEquals(6.0, m[1, 2])
val column: Matrix = m[0..2, 2]
val tail: Matrix = m[1.., 1..]
assertEquals([[3.0], [6.0], [9.0]], column.toList())
assertEquals([[5.0, 6.0], [8.0, 9.0]], tail.toList())
```
See [Matrix](Matrix.md).
### Multiple Selectors in Bracket Indexing
Bracket indexing now accepts more than one selector:
```lyng
value[i]
value[i, j]
value[i, j, k]
```
For custom indexers, multiple selectors are packed into one list-like index object and dispatched through `getAt` / `putAt`.
This is the rule used by `lyng.matrix` and by embedding APIs for Kotlin-backed indexers.
### Decimal Arithmetic Module (`lyng.decimal`)
Lyng now ships a first-class decimal module built as a regular extension library rather than a deep core special case.
