I have implemented the above sequential matrix-matrix multiplication algorithm, but i'm not sure about implementing a method to display the output to verify that the algorithm works as expected.
Jump to PostIf you just want to see the contents of the array, the Arrays class's toString() method will format a single dim array for printing. Loop through the first dim and pass it to the toString() method to format and print what the toString() method returns. Something like:
S.o.p(Arrays.toString(c[i]));

When i run the program it doesn't display the result of the sequencial matrix multiply algorithm, so i have no idea if it works or not...Could someone tell me what i am doing wrong?...as i am really really stuck on this problem. thanks.
it doesn't display the result
Try debugging the code to see why it doesn't execute the code that is supposed to display the result. Add lots ofprintln statements to shown the values of the variables that are ued to control the display logic and to show when methods are called.
NOTE: The posted code does not compile without errors. It is missing some import statements.
EDIT: You should add calls to the printStackTrace() method to all the catch blocks so the full text of the error message and the location of the error are displayed.
