Matrix Multiplication Program

#include <stdio.h>

void main() {
int r1, c1, r2, c2;
int i, j, k;

// 1. Input dimensions of the first matrix


printf("Enter rows and columns for the first matrix:
");
scanf("%d %d", &r1, &c1);

// 2. Input dimensions of the second matrix


printf("Enter rows and columns for the second
matrix: ");
scanf("%d %d", &r2, &c2);

// 3. Validate dimension compatibility


if (c1 != r2) {
printf("Error! Column of first matrix must equal
row of second matrix.\n");

// 4. Input elements for the first matrix
