Returning an object from a method

User_27ADDFeb 3 2021

Hullo,
I have built a library of Matrix functions and now I want to test those functions. I have built a simple program to do this, and connected the library to this application. In my program I do the following;-
1 Use a Constructor to create the matrix of the correct size and with a value assigned to each location in the array.
2 Use a library method (matMultTD()), to multiply two matrices together and return a Matrix object.
fitLeft = new Matrix(2, 2, 1);
fitLeft.matMultTD(obsLeft, obsLeft);
I have followed the actions in the debugger and the matMultTD method does what is it supposed to do, but obviously the way that I have linked the Matrix output from the matMultTD method does not work because the fitLeft Matrix retains the original values. What am I doing wrong?
