it's been .. quiet.  in case you haven't addressed 1/2 yet, here's a quick,
though inefficient (and inelegant), hack.  in the 'generate_matrix' function,
there's an assignment in the innermost 'for()'.  if you change that line to
read:
  std::cin >> matrix[row[col];
then you can pipe your data in.  inefficient because you're reading one value at
a time.  say you want a 2x2 matrix:
1.0 2.0
3.0 4.0

then your data file should read:
2
1.0
2.0
3.0
4.0

and you'd execute:
$ ./a.out < myfile

while I haven't actually tried it here, I'm quite confident it'll work.  in the
long run you'd want to read and process a row of data at a time though.  hth.


regards, jr.
