How can I extract the last column of a given matrix?

How can I extract the last column of a given matrix?
For example,
matrix[][] = new [10][4];

How can I get the last column of a matrix as a vector?

Thank you very much!:)

By using a for loop and extracting each item, one at a time. If you experiment with it, you'll figure it out quickly.

I am a bit rusty... But I think this will do the trick:

Code:

---

Vector<whatEver> v = new Vector<whatEver>;
whatEver matrix[][] = new whatEver[10][4];

for(int i=0; i<matrix.length; i++){
    v.addElement(matrix[i][3]);
}

Better to avoid magic numbers (i.e., the "3").

Good point my friend...

Hi Guys, Thank you so much!
What does <whatEver> represent?

You have to specify what your vector is... AKA... String... Double... etc...

<whatEver> is the data type your matrix stores, for example, if your array stores ints, you would initialise you Vector as:

Code:

---

Vector<Integer> v = new Vector<Integer>(); //not Vector<int>, vectors hold objects, not primitives

---

This is known as a generic, initialising the vector in this manner assures, that it holds, and accepts only Integer objects.
