Multiplication of Two Matrices Using C Program

The document describes a C program to multiply two matrices. It explains that the number of columns in the first matrix must equal the number of rows in the second matrix. The program uses nested for loops to input the matrices from the user, initialize the result matrix to 0, and then calculate the result matrix by multiplying corresponding elements and adding them. Finally, it prints out the two input matrices and the resulting matrix.

Alogrithm:

Multiplication of two matrixes:


Rule: Multiplication of two matrixes is only possible
if first matrix has size m X n and other matrix has
size n x r. Where m, n and r are any positive integer.
Multiplication of two matrixes is defined as

Where 1 i m and 1 j n
For example:
Suppose two matrixes A and B of size of 2 x 2 and 2 x 3
respectively:
