Addition Of Matrix In C

A matrix is a 2D array with elements in rows and columns. Matrices of the same dimensions (m rows and n columns) can be added;

The sum is a matrix of the same order, obtained by adding corresponding elements.

Program to Add Two Matrices

The following code can be used for matrix addition in C :

Output

The output of the matrix addition in the C code is as below.

Program Explanation

In the above program,

• We have three matrices: ' mat1, mat2, and result`.
• The matrix mat1 will store the first matrix, the matrix mat2 will store the second matrix, and the result matrix will store the sum of two matrices.
• The user enters the order of matrices, i.e., the number of rows and the number of columns.
• for loops are used to take the matrix elements.
• Once the user enters both matrices, another for loop finds the sum of the two matrices.
• The sum of two matrices is calculated by taking the sum of corresponding elements in both the matrix and stored in the matrix result.
• Finally, the result matrix is printed.
• In this way, we can perform matrix addition in c.
