Here you will get C++ matrix multiplication program.

What we are doing in this program.

Read number of rows and columns for two matrix.

Then check if matrix multiplication is possible or not. wearing a tie in DC for the second
time which in many ways is a big

If not possible then show a message to user otherwise multiply them. Finally display the
result.

This somehow does not work/compile for me.

It throws out the follwing error:

No main found…simply generating .o files…

By taking a look on the errors i concluded that you are using gcc on linux os. The
above code is written in turbo c++ so it will not work in gcc.

This will work with gcc and clang and msvc as it doesn’t use any turbo c++
features
You need to call g++ in order to compile it as cpp code else this will throw
an error every time you try to compile it.
CmdLine: g++ main.cpp -o main.out -std=c++11 -O3

Why do we use getch() before ending any program? What is the function of getch()?

Reply ↓

Neeraj Mishra
February 19, 2014

Actually getch() is a function used to read character value without displaying it on

the screen. When it is added at the end of the program, compiler waits and stops
the screen for reading any character, as we press any key the program ends. I
hope this will make you understand the use of getch().

I think u r new to c getch () is for inputting character value bt to keep output on

the screen we hv to use getch other wise output will be terminate in just mili
seccends

Getch function holds the programm output screen until any key is pressed.

so that there are spaces in between the matrices and two numbers can be
differentiated.
for ex:- 80 90 39 without space can be 809039. it will be difficult for us to know
the numbers without spaces.

Hey I need some coding clarification ,Sorry to use this page in doing so .
I want to create a function with inputs of type vector and integer but the output should
be a matrix .
{ If you are comfortable in matlab it has A = function_name(v,x) ; where x = 5;v =
ones(5,1);A = zeros(5,4). }

I want to use the output matrix as input to another function .I’m new to c++ ,How could
I do that ?
I tried a few methods ;but the function is of type void , which wont output a result ,and
wont give me the freedom to do A = function_name(input1,input2) in c++.

using namespace std;

what does this line indicate

The built in C++ library routines are kept in the standard namespace. That
includes stuff like cout, cin, string, vector, map, etc. Because these tools are used
so commonly, it’s popular to add “using namespace std” at the top of your source
code so that you won’t have to type the std:: prefix constantly.

Write a C++ program for matrix multiplication. Multiplication function should notify if the
order of the matrix is invalid, using exception.
Can you help me to solve this
