#### 7.2`` Types, Predicates and Accessors

> > syntax

> > (Matrix A)

Equivalent to (Array A), but used for values M for which (matrix? M) is #t.

> > procedure

> > (matrix? arr) → Boolean

> arr : (Array A)

Returns #t when arr is a matrix: a nonempty array with exactly two axes.

Examples:

> > (matrix? (array 10))
> - : Boolean
> #f
> > (matrix? (array #[1 2 3]))
> - : Boolean
> #f
> > (matrix? (make-array #(5 0) 0))
> - : Boolean
> #f
> > (matrix? (array #[#[1 0] #[0 1]]))
> - : Boolean
> #t

> > procedure

> > (row-matrix? arr) → Boolean

> arr : (Array A)

Returns #t when arr is a row matrix: a matrix with exactly one row.

> > procedure

> > (col-matrix? arr) → Boolean

> arr : (Array A)

Returns #t when arr is a column matrix: a matrix with exactly one column.

> > procedure

> > (square-matrix? arr) → Boolean

> arr : (Array A)

Returns #t when arr is a matrix with the same number of rows and columns.

> > procedure

> > (matrix-shape M) → (Values Index Index)

> M : (Matrix A)

Returns M’s row and column count, respectively. Raises an error if (matrix? M) is #f.

Examples:

> > (matrix-shape (row-matrix [1 2 3]))
> - : (Values Integer Integer) [generalized from (Values Index Index)]

> 1
> 3

> > (matrix-shape (col-matrix [1 2 3]))
> - : (Values Integer Integer) [generalized from (Values Index Index)]

> 3
> 1

> > (matrix-shape (identity-matrix 3))
> - : (Values Integer Integer) [generalized from (Values Index Index)]

> 3
> 3

> > procedure

> > (matrix-num-rows M) → Index

> M : (Matrix A)

Returns the number of rows in M, or the first value of (matrix-shape M).

> > procedure

> > (matrix-num-cols M) → Index

> M : (Matrix A)

Returns the number of columns in M, or the second value of (matrix-shape M).

> > procedure

> > (square-matrix-size M) → Index

> M : (Matrix A)

Returns the number of rows/columns in M. Raises an error if (square-matrix? M) is #f.

Examples:

> > (square-matrix-size (identity-matrix 3))
> - : Integer [generalized from Index]
> 3
> > (square-matrix-size (row-matrix [1 2 3]))
> square-matrix-size: contract violation
> expected: square-matrix?
> given: (array #[#[1 2 3]])
