Matrix multiplication program in C

Matrix multiplication program in C

Matrix multiplication in C language to calculate the product of two matrices (two-dimensional arrays). A user inputs the orders and elements of the matrices.

If the multiplication isn’t possible, an error message is displayed. You may have studied the method to multiply matrices in Mathematics.
