Problem statement

Given two matrices and find their multiplication in third matrix and print the matrix using Java program.

Example

Input (Matrix 1)
25 52
65 85

Input (Matrix 2)
96 65
36 85

Output (Multiplication Matrix)
4272 6045 
9300 11450

Java program to multiply two matrices

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MatrixMultiplication {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    int n;
    //object of scanner class
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    //input base (number of rows and cols)
    System.out.print("Enter the base the matrices : ");
    n = input.nextInt();

    //create two_D array (matrix) objects
    int[][] a = new int[n][n];
    int[][] b = new int[n][n];
    int[][] c = new int[n][n];

    //input matrix 1
    System.out.println("Enter the elements of 1st Matrix row wise \n");
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
        a[i][j] = input.nextInt();
      }
    }

    //input matrix 2
    System.out.println("Enter the elements of 2nd mrtix row wise \n");
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
        b[i][j] = input.nextInt();
      }
    }

    //multiplication logic
    System.out.println("Multiplying both sthe matrices...");
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
        for (int k = 0; k < n; k++) {
          c[i][j] = c[i][j] + a[i][k] * b[k][j];
        }
      }
    }

    //print final/result matrix 
    System.out.println("The product of the matrices is : ");
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
        System.out.print(c[i][j] + " ");
      }
      System.out.println();
    }
    input.close();
  }
}

Output 1
