# Matrix Given a string representing a matrix of numbers, return the rows and columns of that matrix. So given a string with embedded newlines like: > 9 8 7 > 5 3 2 > 6 6 7 representing this matrix: ```plain 0 1 2 |--------- 0 | 9 8 7 1 | 5 3 2 2 | 6 6 7 ``` your code should be able to spit out: - A list of the rows, reading each row left-to-right while moving top-to-bottom across the rows, - A list of the columns, reading each column top-to-bottom while moving from left-to-right. The rows for our example matrix: - 9, 8, 7 - 5, 3, 2 - 6, 6, 7 And its columns: - 9, 5, 6 - 8, 3, 6 - 7, 2, 7 ## Hints To complete this exercise, you need to create the data type `Matrix`, with `Eq` and `Show` instances, and implement the following functions: - `cols` - `column` - `flatten` - `fromList` - `fromString` - `reshape` - `row` - `rows` - `shape` - `transpose` You will find a dummy data declaration and type signatures already in place, but it is up to you to define the functions and create a meaningful data type, newtype or type synonym. No validation of input is required. Let it fail if the matrix is not rectangular, invalid chars are encountered, etc. shape is (rows, cols) ## Getting Started For installation and learning resources, refer to the [exercism help page](http://exercism.io/languages/haskell). ## Running the tests To run the test suite, execute the following command: ```bash stack test ``` #### If you get an error message like this... ``` No .cabal file found in directory ``` You are probably running an old stack version and need to upgrade it. #### Otherwise, if you get an error message like this... ``` No compiler found, expected minor version match with... Try running "stack setup" to install the correct GHC... ``` Just do as it says and it will download and install the correct compiler version: ```bash stack setup ``` ## Running *GHCi* If you want to play with your solution in GHCi, just run the command: ```bash stack ghci ``` ## Feedback, Issues, Pull Requests The [exercism/haskell](https://github.com/exercism/haskell) repository on GitHub is the home for all of the Haskell exercises.
