How to multiply two matrices (matrix) in C

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>

#define COLS1 3
#define COLS2 2

int main()
{
    int matrix1[][COLS1] = { {4, 2, 4},
                             {8, 3, 1} };
    int matrix2[][COLS2] = { {3, 5},
                             {2, 8},
                             {7, 9} };
    int mul[][COLS2] =     { {0, 0},
                             {0, 0} };

    int rows1 = sizeof(matrix1) / sizeof(matrix1[0]);
    int cols2 = sizeof(matrix2[0]) / sizeof(matrix2[0][0]);

    // mul[0][0] = m1[0][0] * m2[0][0] + m1[0][1] * m2[1][0] + m1[0][2] * m2[2][0] 

    for (int i = 0; i < rows1; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < cols2; j++) {
            for (int k = 0; k < COLS1; k++) {
                mul[i][j] += matrix1[i][k] * matrix2[k][j];
                printf("mul[%d][%d] += m1[%d][%d] * m2[%d][%d]\n", i, j, i, k, k, j);
            }
            printf("\n");
        }
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < COLS2; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < COLS2; j++)
            printf("%3d", mul[i][j]);
        printf("\n");
    }

    return 0;
}
