Matrix Multiplication program in java
Hi! we will learn how to add multiply matrices in java.
In multiplication columns in matrix1 must be equal to rows in matrix2



Let’s understand multiplication of matrices by diagram-
we will find out dot product.


 
Main logic behind multiplication is:
        //Multiply matrices
    int[][] productMatrix  = new int[rowsMatrix1][columnsMatrix2];
    for (int i = 0; i < rowsMatrix1; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < columnsMatrix2; j++) {
      for (int k = 0; k < columnsMatrix1RowsMatrix2; k++) { //columns in matrix1= rows in matrix2
          productMatrix[i][j]= productMatrix[i][j] + matrix1[i][k] *matrix2[k][j];
        }
         }
  }

      System.out.print("Enter number of columns in first matrix / rows in matrix2: ");
      int columnsMatrix1RowsMatrix2 = scanner.nextInt();         //variable name used for understanding convenience, because columns in matrix1 = rows in matrix2
      System.out.print("Enter number of columns in second matrix : ");
      int columnsMatrix2 = scanner.nextInt();
