Enter the number of rows (between 1 and 100): 2
Enter the number of columns (between 1 and 100): 2
Enter elements of 1st matrix:
Enter element a11: 1
Enter element a12: 2
Enter element a21: 3
Enter element a22: 4
Enter elements of 2nd matrix:
Enter element a11: 5
Enter element a12: 6
Enter element a21: 7
Enter element a22: 8
Sum of two matrices:
6 8
10 12

- This program is used to add two matrices by using multidimensional arrays.
- In
main()
, three multidimensional arraysa
,b
andsum
are declared; each with a capacity of 100 rows and 100 columns. - The program requests the user to enter the number of rows and columns and stores the values in the variables
row
andcol
using thescanf() function
. - The program then requests the user to enter elements of the first
matrix (a[i][j])
and secondmatrix (b[i][j])
by usingnested for loops
that iterate between the multidimensional arrays in the manner of first row and all its columns, second row and all its columns and so on. - The two matrices are then added
a[i][j] + b[i][j]
by using the samenested for loops
and their result is stored in anothermatrix sum[i][j]
. - The sum is then finally printed row-wise. And once the inner loop reaches to the (c – 1)th value, the loop exits and the outer loop starts executing again for the second row.
