Java Program to Multiply Two Matrices
A Java program to multiply two matrices.
Problem Description
Write a Java program to multiply two matrices.
Code
public class MultiplyMatrices {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int r1 = 2, c1 = 3;
int r2 = 3, c2 = 2;
int[][] firstMatrix = { {3, -2, 5}, {3, 0, 4} };
int[][] secondMatrix = { {2, 3}, {-9, 0}, {0, 4} };
// Mutliplying Two matrices
int[][] product = new int[r1][c2];
for(int i = 0; i < r1; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < c2; j++) {
for (int k = 0; k < c1; k++) {
product[i][j] += firstMatrix[i][k] * secondMatrix[k][j];
}
}
}
// Displaying the result
System.out.println("Product of two matrices is: ");
for(int[] row : product) {
for (int column : row) {
System.out.print(column + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}Output
Product of two matrices is:
24 29
6 25 Explanation
- Matrix Multiplication Rule: The number of columns in the first matrix must equal the number of rows in the second matrix.
- Triple Loop: Iterate through rows of the first, columns of the second, and the common dimension.
