The program to add two matrices is discussed here. Two matrices are obtained as input from the user. The addition of two matrices is possible only when both the matrices contain same number of rows and columns.

Algorithm to add two matrices

• Input matrix 1 and matrix 2.
• If the number of rows and number of columns of matrix 1 and matrix 2 is equal,
• for i=1 to rows[matrix 1]
• for j=1 to columns [matrix 1]
• Input matrix 1 [i,j]
• Input matrix 2 [i,j]
• matrix 3 [i,j]= matrix 1 [i,j]+ matrix 2 [i,j];
• Display matrix 3 [i,j];

Time complexity: O(n^2)

Recommended Programs

• Transpose of a matrix

• Upper triangular matrix or not

• Lower triangular matrix or not

• The maximum element in a row
