MatrixMul
AnalysisLibErrType MatrixMul (void *matrixX, void *matrixY, ssize_t numberOfRowsInX, ssize_t colsRowsInXY, ssize_t numberOfColumnsInY, void *outputMatrix);
Purpose
Multiplies two 2D input matrices, X and Y. MatrixMul obtains the (i, j)th element of the output matrix, Z, using the formula:
i = matrix row index
j = matrix column index
k = number of columns/rows in X/Y

Ensure that the matrix sizes are valid for matrix multiplication. You must meet the following size constraints:
- matrixX must be n by k.
- matrixY must be k by m.
- outputMatrix must be n by m.
Example Code
/* Multiply two matrices. Note: A x B - B x A, in general. */
double x[10][20], y[20][15], z[10][15];
int n, k, m;
n = 10;
k = 20;
m = 15;
MatrixMul (x, y, n, k, m, z);
Parameters
Input | ||
Name | Type | Description |
matrixX | void * | First matrix to multiply. The number of columns in matrixX must match the number of rows in matrixY. This matrix must be an array of doubles. |
matrixY | void * | Second matrix to multiply. The number of columns of matrixX must match the number of rows of matrixY. This matrix must be an array of doubles. |
OfRowsInX | ssize_t | The number of rows in matrixX. |
colsRowsInXY | ssize_t | Number of columns in matrixX, which must be equal to the number of rows in matrixY. |
OfColumnsInY | ssize_t | The number of columns in matrixY. |
Output | ||
Name | Type | Description |
outputMatrix | void * | Result of the matrix multiplication, as an array of doubles. |
Return Value
