Recover the history of the row operations that have been performed. This function combines the transformation matrices into a single transformation matrix representing all row operations or may optionally print all the individual operations which have been performed.

Usage

buildTmat(x, all = FALSE)

# S3 method for class 'trace'
as.matrix(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'trace'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

x

a matrix A, joined with a vector of constants, b, that has been passed to gaussianElimination or the row operator matrix functions

all

logical; print individual transformation ies?

...

additional arguments

Value

the transformation matrix or a list of individual transformation matrices
