Return row and column counts for a rectangular numeric matrix.
Description
Return row and column counts for a rectangular numeric matrix.
Matrix Dimensions Tool: Return row and column counts for a rectangular numeric matrix.
When to use Matrix Dimensions
Use this matrix operation to transform, inspect, serialize, or decompose a rectangular numeric array with known dimensions and mathematical assumptions.
- Matrix
- Required list input.
How Matrix Dimensions works
Return row and column counts for a rectangular numeric matrix. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Rows
- The resulting rows returned as an integer.
- Columns
- The resulting columns returned as an integer.
Limitations and assumptions
- Dimension compatibility, numeric conditioning, symmetry, positive definiteness, rank, scaling, tolerance, and floating-point precision affect matrix results. Serialization formats may lose types or precision.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Check dimensions and prerequisites, compute reconstruction or residual error for decompositions, and compare ill-conditioned cases with a trusted numerical library.
