Please can anyone tell me why that program crashes when I enter the first matrix?

Just some advices (after a first quick look at your code, not a solution to your problem):

In your main-function I encounter this line: while(flag==true) it's just the long way to write: while(flag)
I also encounter the nasty system("pause"); line, there's actually no need to use this, you could just use cin.get(); instead (why not to use system("pause"); ?)...

iN THE FUNCTION

void read( int **matr1,int **matr2,int& rows,int& cols,int& rows2,int& cols2){

What does mart1 point to?

I mean You have not Initialised The variable for the matrix anywhere.

If you want to pass an array of pointers to a function you should use: int *matr1[] (instead of int **matr1 ) for example :)

What does mart1 point to?

It points to an unknown location in memory.

To the OP:
In your main function you're declaring two pointers like this: int **matr1,**matr2; , there's nothing wrong with this line but you don't assign memory to them and then you're just passing matr1 to several functions like sumMat , subtraction , etc. without even have assigned memory to these pointers, that will definitely end in a crash :)

Wouldnt int **matr1 do the trick as well?
And This is good because the size of the array is mentioned during Runtime.

int **matr1;
matr1=new int* [sizeofrows];
while
matr1[1]=new int[sizeofcol];

Well, actually it's the same, I meant that post as an advice only, it's just a matter of preference :) ...

int **matr1;
matr1=new int* [sizeofrows];
[B]while[/B]
[B]matr1[1]=new int[sizeofcol];[/B]

In case you forgot (I do NOT say you forgot, but in case you did): an array's first element is the 0th :)
By the way: what is the 'while' doing there without any condition?

Lol This is like a code battle.

Anyways That was just an example. And the while mentions a condition to be present there :)

And thanks for reminding me of the array lower bound ;)

So did anyone solve the problem and the program didn't crash with him? excuse me

I'm quoting what has been already said (cause you didn't read the thread carefully enough :():

In your main function you're declaring two pointers like this: int **matr1,**matr2; , there's nothing wrong with this line but you don't assign memory to them and then you're just passing matr1 to several functions like sumMat , subtraction , etc. without even have assigned memory to these pointers, that will definitely end in a crash :)

So what do you have to do first? Well, you've to assign some memory to both of them before you can let your functions perform operations on your matrices :)

Firstly in the function read1 or read2, The pointer to pointer do not point to a specific value.

That is:You have not provided a place to store the value .
When you get the rows and coloumns of your matrix. You should first create that rows and coloumns.

int **matr1;
matr1=new int* [sizeofrows];
int i=0;
while(i<sizeofrows)
matr1[i]=new int[sizeofcol];

That
After which you can read in data from the user.

Saving a few extra keystrokes isn't worth sacrificing code readability. If the OP finds it more understandable, it's his choice. Generally I only give advice on formatting if it's actually unreadable to other programmers, or is just very messy.

Sure that it's his choice, I didn't say that he must use this way, it was only an alternative way to do it :)
