C Code for Matrix Multiplication

The document discusses the implementation of matrix multiplication in C, specifically the function MatMul for multiplying two matrices A and B to produce C. It provides the correct inner loop code for the multiplication, which initializes C[i][j] to 0 and accumulates the product of corresponding elements from A and B. The document also offers to explain why other provided options are incorrect.

Matrix multiplication code

I can see the question clearly from your images. It’s about matrix multiplication
implementation in C.

The question is:

Consider the following code for multiplication of two matrices C = A × B.


MatMul(int *A, int *B, int *C, int nRowsA, int nColsA, int nRowsB, int
nColsB)

Inside, they’ve given:

int i, j, k;
for(i=0; i<nRowsA; i++)
for(j=0; j<nColsB; j++)
{
....
}

Now, we must fill the inner loop.

Correct inner code for matrix multiplication:


The formula is:

nColsA−1
C[i][j] = ∑ ​
A[i][k] × B[k][j]
k=0

So, the correct code is:

1/2
C[i][j] = 0;
for(k=0; k<nColsA; k++)
C[i][j] += A[i][k] * B[k][j];

✅ Answer:
The correct option among the given choices is the one that first initializes C[i][j] =
0; and then uses:

for(k=0; k<nColsA; k++)


C[i][j] += A[i][k] * B[k][j];

Would you like me to also explain why the other options are wrong (like if they miss
initialization or swap indices)?
