product of two matrices with undefined number of rows and columns

[imolorhe]

Hello. Please, i have this little question of finding the product of two matrices in which the user enters the number of rows and columns. i would appreciate it if a solution is given and even more if there are more than one solutions to the question. thanks.

I know you need your implementation in C but I hope this program in Python that I created is somewhat helpful.

Please i need d code for C.

Stop whining and begging. The code he provided is practically C.

[Aia]

Please i need d code for C.

The rules of this forum clearly explain that we do not give away code to posters that do not show proof of effort. Where's the code? Where is your effort in the matter?

If you were to just make an effort to translate the code that I gave to you C you would have what you need. Algorithms are practical and applicable to all programming languages given you know the language...which I'm guessing you don't.
