Example:

Input: 
Enter Matrix elements :
[0][0]: 1
[1][1]: 2
[2][2]: 3
[0][0]: 4
[1][1]: 5
[2][2]: 6
[0][0]: 7
[1][1]: 8
[2][2]: 9

Output: 
Entered Matrix :
1  2  3  
4  5  6  
7  8  9  

Sum of 0 column is 12
Sum of 1 column is 15
Sum of 2 column is 18

C++ code to find the sum of each column of matrix using the class and object approach

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// create a class
class Matrix {
  // private data member
 private:
  int matrix[3][3];

  // public member functions
 public:
  // getMatrix() funtion to insert matrices
  void getMatrix() {
    cout << "Enter Matrix elements :" << endl;

    for (int row = 0; row < 3; row++) {
      for (int column = 0; column < 3; column++) {
        cout << "[" << column << "][" << column << "]:";
        cin >> matrix[row][column];
      }
    }
  }

  // sumColumn() function to add elements 
  // of each column
  void sumColumn() {
    // initialising int type variables
    // to perform operations
    int row, column, sumcolumn;

    cout << "\nEntered Matrix :" << endl;

    // for loop to show the inserted matrix
    for (row = 0; row < 3; row++) {
      for (column = 0; column < 3; column++) {
        cout << matrix[row][column] << "  ";
      }

      cout << "\n";
    }

    cout << "\n";

    // nested for loop to add each 
    // columns elements of the matrix
    for (row = 0; row < 3; row++) {
      sumcolumn = 0;

      for (column = 0; column < 3; column++) {
        sumcolumn = sumcolumn + matrix[column][row];
      }

      cout << "Sum of " << row << " column is " << sumcolumn << endl;
    }
  }
};

int main() {
  // create an object
  Matrix M;

  // calling getMatrix() function to 
  // insert Matrix
  M.getMatrix();

  // calling sumColumn() function to add each column
  M.sumColumn();

  return 0;
}

Output:

Enter Matrix elements :
[0][0]:2
[1][1]:4
[2][2]:6
[0][0]:8
[1][1]:9
[2][2]:7
[0][0]:5
[1][1]:4
[2][2]:2

Entered Matrix :
2  4  6  
8  9  7  
5  4  2  

Sum of 0 column is 15
Sum of 1 column is 17
Sum of 2 column is 15

Explanation:

In the above code, we have created a class Matrix, one int type 2d array data members matrix[3][3] to store the elements of the matrix, and public member functions getMatrix() and sumColumn() to store the matrix elements and to find the sum of each column of the matrix.

In the main() function, we create an object M of class Matrix, reading the inputted matrix by the user using getMatrix() function, and finally call the sumColumn() member function to find the sum of each column of the matrix. The sumColumn() function contains the logic to find the sum of each column of the matrix and printing the result.
