Program to Add Two Matrices

What is Matrix?

In mathematics, matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols or expressions arranged in the form of rows and columns. For example: if you take a matrix A which is a 2×3 matrix then it can be shown like this:

2 3 5
8 12 7

Image representation:

In Python, matrices can be implemented as nested list. Each element of the matrix is treated as a row. For example X = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]] would represent a 3×2 matrix. First row can be selected as X[0] and the element in first row, first column can be selected as X[0][0].

Source code :

X = [[1,2,3],  
       [4,5,6],  
       [7,8,9]]  
  
Y = [[10,11,12],  
       [13,14,15],  
       [16,17,18]]  
  
result = [[0,0,0],  
                [0,0,0],  
                [0,0,0]]  
# iterate through rows  
for i in range(len(X)):  
   # iterate through columns  
   for j in range(len(X[0])):  
       result[i][j] = X[i][j] + Y[i][j]  
for r in result:  
   print(r)

Source code Explanation:

Step 1 : intialisation of matrices.
X = [[1,2,3],
[4,5,6],
[7,8,9]]
Y = [[10,11,12],
[13,14,15],
[16,17,18]]
step 2 : third matrices
result = [[0,0,0],
[0,0,0],
[0,0,0]]
step 3: iterate through rows
for i in range(len(X)):
step 4: iterate through columns
for j in range(len(X[0])):
result[i][j] = X[i][j] + Y[i][j]
for r in result:
print(r)
