Q:

Java Program to determine whether two matrices are equal

0

In this program, we need to check whether given matrices are equal or not.

Two matrices are said to be equal if and only if they satisfy the following conditions:

  • Both the matrices should have the same number of rows and columns.
  • Both the matrices should have the same corresponding elements.

Consider the above example, where matrices A and B are equal as they have the same size and same corresponding elements.

Algorithm

  • STEP 1: START
  • STEP 2: DEFINE row1, col1, row2, col2
  • STEP 3: INITIALIZE first matrix a[][] ={{1, 2, 3}, {8, 4,6}, {4, 5,7}}
  • STEP 4: INITIALIZE second matrix b[][] ={{1 2, 3}, {8, 4, 6}{4, 5, 7}}
  • STEP 5: row1 = a.length
  • STEP 6: col1 = a[0].length
  • STEP 7: row2 =b.length
  • STEP 8: col2 = b[0].length
  • STEP 9: if(row1!=row2 || col1!=col2)
            then
            PRINT "No"
            else
            go to step 10;
  • STEP 10: REPEAT STEP 11 UNTIL i<row1
            //for(i=0; i<row1; i++)
  • STEP 11: REPEAT STEP12 UNTIL j<col1
            //for(j=0; j<col1; j++)
  • STEP 12: if(a[i][j]=b[i][j]) then
            flag =false
            break
  • STEP 13: if(flag)
            then PRINT "Yes"
            else
            PRINT "No"
  • STEP 14: END
