Neither. What is shown above is not pants, it is a pant. To be plural multiple legs must joined to a single trunk.
Maybe the legs even run diagonally along the identity axis.
Yeah, looks like OP missed topology class: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_of_pants_(mathematics)
Yeah, I feel it should wear pants with three legs, not one.
Depends on the programming language.
Since the first element is a_11 and not a_00, I guess we can assume it’s Matlab or Fortran or something similar.
Depends on the problem you’re trying to solve, just keep it consistent and don’t mix the two.
But wait… You can only multiply one kind with the other!
This is so stupid, I love it.
I did not think I could hate pants memes more, yet here we are.
Excellent.
Well they are same and switch between thoose styles when you take transpose
Haha I thought this.
I think it would wear one wide i item wide set of pants, and each leg would have one column
We’ll have a diagonal argument about it.
The belt and belt loops go all along the top row. If there’s only one row, the matrix can only wear a short-shorts version. There’s a crotch in each space between columns, and a leg on every column of length greater than 1.
Sparse matrices have their own special pants that are more efficient, of course.
Maybe both? One leg goes this way and the other that way around…
I bet there are shelfs full of mathematical textbooks about that question.
Depends on the day I’d say. Option 1 if they’re feeling row major, option 2 for column major days
z scan it
Damn degenerates and their hip blue jeans.
number of legs == number of columns/fields
think it through
