Matrix Converter

This is a small utility program I wrote for my design project.

As an argument, this program will take a file, containing a 36x36 matrix, consisting of 1 (ones) and 0 (zeros), parse it to retrieve a list of 6 digit binary numbers, convert those numbers into decimal format and write it to the output file as a 6 6x6 matrices.

• If mean is passed as a third argument to the program, it will find a mean of matrix values and write an result as a 6*6 matrix.

Clarification:
for 6 6x6 matrices

res -- resulting matrix													//2d matrix
in --  input array of matrices											//3d matrix
res[i][j] = ((in[n][i][1] + .... + in[n][i][6]) / 6)					//mean value

• if distrib is passed as a third argument to the program, it will create a 6x7 “frequency distribution” matrix of values at intervals of 30 – how many 1’s are there per each 30 values.

Clarification:
for interval of 5 and 2x5 matrix

An input of:
						1 0 1 1 0
						0 0 1 0 1

Would yield a resulting:
						3 
						2

How to use

• Compile the program (make sure the script has approporiate permissions)

   ./compile
  

• Run the program

   ./matrix_converter *input file* [mean]
  

• Results will be written into the result.txt file

• Results with the mean parameter will be writter into the results_mean.txt file

• Results with the distrib parameter will be writter into the results_distrib.fdf file

P.S.

• The digits in the input matrix should be divided by spaces, with no extra spaces of symbols at the end of the line

   Example:
  		0 1 1
  		1 0 1
  		0 0 0
  
  

• Only 36x36 input matrix is valid

• Apart from basic argument error checking, there isn’t a proper error handling system (file content, map validity etc.), so if the program crashes, you have most likely supplied an incorrect input matrix.
