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, I feel it should wear pants with three legs, not one.

I did not think I could hate pants memes more, yet here we are.

Excellent.

This is so stupid, I love it.

Well they are same and switch between thoose styles when you take transpose

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago

Haha I thought this.

I think it would wear one wide i item wide set of pants, and each leg would have one column

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.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

But wait... You can only multiply one kind with the other!

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

We'll have a diagonal argument about it.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I bet there are shelfs full of mathematical textbooks about that question.

Nice pants. Did you buy them in the Matrix?

[–] thessnake03@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

How did he see me?

[–] flora_explora@beehaw.org 5 points 3 days ago

Maybe both? One leg goes this way and the other that way around...

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 days ago

Depends on the day I'd say. Option 1 if they're feeling row major, option 2 for column major days

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.

Damn degenerates and their hip blue jeans.

number of legs == number of columns/fields

think it through
