Add matrices



Write a program to add two matrices?

This java program add two matrices. You can add matrices of any order.

Source code of the program:

import java.util.Scanner;

class AddTwoMatrix
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
      int m, n, c, d;
      Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

      System.out.println("Enter the number of rows and columns of matrix");
      m = in.nextInt();
      n  = in.nextInt();

      int first[][] = new int[m][n];
      int second[][] = new int[m][n];
      int sum[][] = new int[m][n];

      System.out.println("Enter the elements of first matrix");

      for (  c = 0 ; c < m ; c++ )
      for ( d = 0 ; d < n ; d++ )
      first[c][d] = in.nextInt();

      System.out.println("Enter the elements of second matrix");

      for ( c = 0 ; c < m ; c++ )
      for ( d = 0 ; d < n ; d++ )
      second[c][d] = in.nextInt();

      for ( c = 0 ; c < m ; c++ )
      for ( d = 0 ; d < n ; d++ )
      sum[c][d] = first[c][d] + second[c][d];  //replace '+' with '-' to subtract matrices

      System.out.println("Sum of entered matrices:-");

      for ( c = 0 ; c < m ; c++ )
      {
      for ( d = 0 ; d < n ; d++ )
      System.out.print(sum[c][d]+"\t");

      System.out.println();
      }
}
}

Output of the program:
















This code adds two matrix, you can modify it to add any number of matrices. You can create a Matrix class and create it's objects and then create an add method which sum the objects, then you can add any number of matrices by repeatedly calling the method using a loop.
