SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on performing matrix operations in the C programming language, specifically matrix addition and multiplication using 2x2 matrices. Participants emphasize the need to understand how to define and manipulate arrays in C, with a clear example provided for creating a 2x2 matrix using the syntax int a[2][2] = {{1,2},{3,4}};. The discussion encourages sharing code attempts for collaborative debugging and learning.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of C programming syntax and data types
  • Familiarity with array manipulation in C
  • Basic knowledge of matrix mathematics
  • Ability to write and debug C code
NEXT STEPS
  • Implement matrix addition in C using nested loops
  • Develop a function for matrix multiplication in C
  • Explore dynamic memory allocation for larger matrices in C
  • Learn about error handling in C for matrix operations
USEFUL FOR

Students learning C programming, educators teaching matrix operations, and developers looking to implement mathematical computations in C.

Good day everyone. I'm learning C language at the moment. Plus, matrix is bit harder. It just I couldn't understand how to write it in C programming language. Plus, it's maths calculations.
I have to use C language for this, not C++.Here's the question :
A matrix is an array of numbers which can be used in calculations. You are required to create a two 2 x 2 matrices, and perform a matrix addition and a matrix multiplication.

a) The sum of A and B, denoted by A+B, is the m x n matrix, which is obtained by adding elements in the corresponding positions.

b) The product of A and B denoted by AB, is m × n matrix with (i,j)th entry equal to the sum of the products of the corresponding elements from the ith row of A and the jth column of B. In other words, if AB = [cij], then

The following should create a 2x2 array

Code:
int a[2][2] = {{1,2},{3,4}};
//where a[0][0] = 1 , a[0][1] = 1 , a[1][0] = 1 , a[1][1] = 1

to get or a set an element you can use $a[j]$ where $i$ represents the row and $j$ represents the column.

How about the code? I mean, can you show me the complete code?;) Sorry, if this sound annoying. But, I try my best on programming.
 
Can you post your attempt ? then if there are mistakes we can correct them.
