Multiplication of two matrix using array


Write a C Program for multiplication of two matrix using array. Here’s simple Program to multiply two matrix using array in C Programming Language.


What is Matrix ?


Matrix representation is a method used by a computer language to store matrices of more than one dimension in memory. C uses “Row Major”, which stores all the elements for a given row contiguously in memory.

Two-dimensional Arrays : :

The simplest form of multidimensional array is the two-dimensional array. A two-dimensional array is, in essence, a list of one-dimensional arrays. An m × n (read as m by n) order matrix is a set of numbers arranged in m rows and n columns.

To declare a two-dimensional integer array of size [x][y], you would write something as follows −

  • type arrayName [ x ][ y ];

Where type can be any valid C data type and arrayName will be a valid C identifier.


Below is the source code for C Program for multiplication of two matrix using array which is successfully compiled and run on Windows System to produce desired output as shown below :


SOURCE CODE : :


/*  C Program for multiplication of two matrix using array  */

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
    int A[3][3], B[3][3], C[3][3];
    int row, col, i, sum;
 
    /*
     * Reads elements in first matrix from user
     */
    printf("Enter elements in matrix A of size 3x3: \n");
    for(row=0; row<3; row++)
    {
        for(col=0; col<3; col++)
        {
            scanf("%d", &A[row][col]);
        }
    }
 
    /*
     * Reads elements in second matrix from user
     */
    printf("\nEnter elements in matrix B of size 3x3: \n");
    for(row=0; row<3; row++)
    {
        for(col=0; col<3; col++)
        {
            scanf("%d", &B[row][col]);
        }
    }
 
    /*
     * Multiplies both matrices A*B
     */
    for(row=0; row<3; row++)
    {
        for(col=0; col<3; col++)
        {
            sum = 0;
            /*
             * Multiplies row of first matrix to column of second matrix
             * And stores the sum of product of elements in sum.
             */
            for(i=0; i<3; i++)
            {
                sum += A[row][i] * B[i][col];
            }
 
            C[row][col] = sum;
        }
    }
 
    /*
     * Prints the product of matrices
     */
    printf("\nProduct of Matrix A * B = \n");
    for(row=0; row<3; row++)
    {
        for(col=0; col<3; col++)
        {
            printf("%d ", C[row][col]);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
 
    return 0;
}

Output : :


/*  C Program for multiplication of two matrix using array  */

Enter elements in matrix A of size 3x3: 
1 2 3 
4 5 6 
7 8 9 

Enter elements in matrix B of size 3x3: 
9 8 7 
6 5 4 
3 2 1 

Product of A * B = 
30 24 18 
84 69 54 
138 114 90

Above is the source code for C Program for multiplication of two matrix using array which is successfully compiled and run on Windows System.The Output of the program is shown above .
