This +object file has a main function which will read +the input file (specified as a command line arugments +to your program), call your rotate function, and +then print the result. + +If you compiled your code (and linked with read-matrix.o) +into a program called rotate-matrix, you might run it as + +./rotate-matrix sample.txt + +It will then print the resulting matrix, which in this case +should look like the contents of the file sample.out. +(Remember that you can use > to redirect the output +of a program to a file, and use diff to compare +the contents of two files). + +Note that you do not have to complete the rotation 'in place'. |
