Help Summing Rows and Columns In A Matrix

Hey
I have been trying to figure out how to sum rows and columns in a matrix square. I also have been trying to get the program to list the numbers of the diagonal in the matrix. So far this is the code I have (I am using Python):

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. def generate (rows, cols): # This just prints the coordinates and the number that goes in it, It also prints the matrix in a square
2.     import random
3.     m = {}
4.     for r in range(rows):
5.        for c in range(cols):
6.             m[r,c]=random.randrange(100)
7.     print m
8.  
9.     print "\n"
10.  
11.     for r in range(rows):
12.         for c in range (cols):
13.             print str(m[r,c]).rjust(4),
14.         print
15.     return m
16.  
17. def rowsum(m): # This is summing the row
18.      results = []
19.      for row in len(m): 
20.         results=sum(m(row))  # I think this is were my problem is
21.      return results
22.  
23. def columnsum(m): # This is summing the column
24.      rows = len(m)
25.      cols = len(m[0])  # I think this is were my other problem is
26.      result = []
27.      for c in range(cols):
28.          sum = 0
29.          for r in range(rows):
30.              sum += m[r][c]
31.          result.append(sum)
32.      return result
33.  
34. def diagonal(m):  # This shows the numbers from the top left to bottom right diagonal
35.      diagonal = []
36.      rows = len(m)
37.      for row in range(rows):
38.          diagonal.append(m[row][row]) # I think this is were my final problem is
39.      return diagonal
40.  

The error I am getting is about my rows, columns and diagonals being strings and not numbers. I can do all the summing of the rows and columns and show the numbers in the diagonal just fine using lists. I know the dictionary form of summing the rows and columns and showing the numbers in the diagonal are very similar to the list form, but for the love of me I just can't figure it out. If someone has any ideas on how to best sum the rows and columns and show the numbers in the diagonal the help would be appreciated.

I've added CODE tags to your post. More on that later.

The syntax

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. m = {}

creates an empty dictionary. For matrix work, you'll want to install the NumPy package.

I'll post an example shortly.

Here is the download page for SciPy and NumPy.

Here's a native python list version:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. def NativeZeros(nRows, nCols):
2.     return [[0 for row in range(nRows)] for col in range(nCols)]
3.  
4.  
5.  
6. matrix = NativeZeros(4, 4)
7. print matrix
8. matrix[2][2] = 11
9. for item in matrix:
10.     print item

[[0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0]]
[0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 11, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0]

These techniques use a thing called list comprehension. Here's an example of using one to sum the entire matrix:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. def NativeZeros(nRows, nCols):
2.     return [range(nRows) for col in range(nCols)]
3.  
4.  
5.  
6. matrix = NativeZeros(4, 4)
7. print matrix
8. print sum([sum(row) for row in matrix])

[[0, 1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]
