Hi again, all---
I'm trying to write a function that will add two matrices and output the resulting matrix.
I've got two matrices already and everything, now i just need to write the function that i can use to call in my switch loop (The program must read two matrices, and the user can then input if they want to add, subtract, or multiply them, and then see their resultant matrix.)
So i've just pasted the function definition i'm trying to use.
double AddMatrix(double x[][5], double y[][5])
{
double matsum[5][5];
int row, col;
for(row=0; row<5; row++)
for(col=0; col<5; col++)
{
matsum[5][5]=(x[row][col]+y[row][col]);
}
return matsum[5][5];
}In my little command window, it shows me an answer but it's completely wrong!! i don't know how to make a new matrix that adds and i'm kind of lost and frustrated...if someone could give me tips or a skeleton of a function that might work, i'd be much obliged! thanks!
Actually, I'll show you the entire code here, it's incomplete, but as soon as I know how to add (and therefore subtract and multiply) matrices I can fill it all in.
