void main()
{
int a[2][3], b[3][4], c[2][4];
int i,j,k;
printf("Enter elements of the first matrix of order 2 x 3 \n");
for(i=0;i<2;i++)
{

Multiplying two matrices

A prerequisite for multiplying two matrices is that the number of columns in the
first matrix must be equal to the number of rows in the second matrix.

Steps:-

1. Create two matrices of orders 2 x 3 and 3 x 4 each.


2. Before we make the matrix multiplication program, we need to understand
how matrix multiplication is performed manually. To do so, let's assume that
the two matrices to be multiplied have the following elements:
3. The resultant matrix will be of the order 2 x 4, that is, the resultant matrix
will have the same number of rows as the first matrix and the same number
of columns as the second matrix:

4. The element first row, first column in the resultant matrix is computed
using the following formula:
SUM(first element of the first row of the first matrix × first element of the first
column of the second matrix), (second element of the first row... × second element
of the first column...), (and so on...)

For example, let's assume the elements of the two matrices .The elements in the
first row and the first column of the resultant matrix will be computed as follows:
5. Hence, the element in first row, first column in the resultant matrix will be
as follows:
(3×6)+(9×3)+(7×5)
=18 + 27 + 35
=80
