Algorithm
Here's the algorithm for the provided C program that adds two matrices:
1. Include necessary header files.
- Include the standard input/output header file.
2. Define constants.
- Define MAX_SIZE as the maximum size for matrices.
3. Declare main function.
- Declare three 2D arrays: mat1, mat2, and sum.
- Declare variables: row, col, i, and j.
4. Input Matrix Size.
- Prompt the user to enter the number of rows and columns for the matrices.
5. Input Elements for the First Matrix.
- Use nested loops to input elements for the first matrix (mat1).
6. Input Elements for the Second Matrix.
- Use nested loops to input elements for the second matrix (mat2).
7. Matrix Addition.
- Use nested loops to add corresponding elements of mat1 and mat2 and store the result in the sum matrix.
8. Display the Result.
- Use nested loops to print the sum matrix.
9. End of Program.
- Return 0 to indicate successful program execution.
The algorithmic steps describe the flow and functionality of the provided C program without presenting the specific code.
Code Examples
#1 Code Example-C Programing to Add Two Matrices:
Code -
C Programming
#define MAX_SIZE 100
int main()
{
int mat1[MAX_SIZE][MAX_SIZE];
int mat2[MAX_SIZE][MAX_SIZE];
int sum[MAX_SIZE][MAX_SIZE];
int row, col, i,j;
printf("Enter the number of rows (between 1 and %d): ", MAX_SIZE);
scanf("%d", &row);
printf("Enter the number of columns (between 1 and %d): ", MAX_SIZE);
scanf("%d", &col);
printf("\nEnter elements of 1st matrix:\n");
for (i = 0; i <row; ++i)
{
for (j = 0; j < col; ++j)
{
printf("Enter element mat1_%d%d: ", i, j);
scanf("%d", &mat1[i][j]);
}
}
printf("\n\nEnter elements of 2nd matrix:\n");
for (i = 0; i < row; ++i)
{
for (j = 0; j < col; ++j)
{
printf("Enter element mat2_%d%d: ", i, j);
scanf("%d", &mat2[i][j]);
}
}
// adding two matrices
for (i = 0; i < row; ++i)
{
for (j = 0; j < col; ++j)
{
sum[i][j] = mat1[i][j] + mat2[i][j];
}
}
// printing the result of the sum
printf("\nSum of two matrices: \n");
for (i = 0; i < row; ++i)
{
for (j = 0; j < col; ++j)
{
printf("%d ", sum[i][j]);
if (j == col - 1)
{
printf("\n\n");
}
}
}
return 0;
}Output
Enter the number of columns (between 1 and 100): 2
Enter elements of 1st matrix:
Enter element mat1_00: 2
Enter element mat1_01: -3
Enter element mat1_10: 4
Enter element mat1_11: 5
Enter elements of 2nd matrix:
Enter element mat2_00: 1
Enter element mat2_01: 9
Enter element mat2_10: -3
Enter element mat2_11: -5
Sum of two matrices:
3 6
1 0
#2 arrays to store the value of the matrix and some local variables for intermediate value and mathematical operation
Code -
C Programming
int mat1[MAX_SIZE][MAX_SIZE];
int mat2[MAX_SIZE][MAX_SIZE];
int sum[MAX_SIZE][MAX_SIZE];
int row, col, i,j;#3 the user to enter the numbers of rows and columns for both matrices which they want to add.
Code -
C Programming
printf("Enter the number of rows (between 1 and %d): ", MAX_SIZE);
scanf("%d", &row);
printf("Enter the number of columns (between 1 and %d): ", MAX_SIZE);
scanf("%d", &col);#4 enter the element for both matrices
Code -
C Programming
//enter element for first matrix
for (i = 0; i < row; ++i)
{
for (j = 0; j < col; ++j)
{
printf("Enter element mat1_%d%d: ", i, j);
scanf("%d", &mat1[i][j]);
}
}
//enter element for second matrix
for (i = 0; i < row; ++i)
{
for (j = 0; j < col; ++j)
{
printf("Enter element mat2_%d%d: ", i, j);
scanf("%d", &mat2[i][j]);
}
}#5 finally add both matrices by adding the numbers in the matching positions.
