just started the project and was wondering if anyone understands the wording for task 2: Write separate code for generating the B and C matrices given a matrix X. You can generate the matrix X inside this code. is this suggesting that i generate B and C matrices as I create and initialise the X matrix? or do we create, initialise the X matrix, then generate the B and C matrices from this? it seems trivial to generate the B and C matrices as we initialise the X matrix, since we're not exactly compressing X anymore, but amitava's wording is mad confusing

I wrote two separate functions. One generates the compressed form directly, without relying on an existing X; The other generates the compressed form from an existing X. I hope this covers what they're asking for, as at least one of these approaches should meet their specifications. It is definitely frustrating dealing with these instructions. Hopefully, our UC will not deduct marks for these nonsense, especially since they have been unresponsive in the forum for weeks.
