Print matrice with one loop?

[cowa]

How can I print matrix with one loop . . .

void printMat(const int mat[][N], int n)		
{
	int i, j;
	for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
	{
		for(j = 0; j < N; j++)
		printf("%3d ", mat[i][j]);
		puts("");
	}
}

Thanx

Why do you want to do that? It would obfuscate the clear logic, in my opinion.

Just use common sense:

In a 3 x 1 matrix, how many elements are there? OK, how about a 3 x 2? a 3 x 3?

Seeing the pattern yet?

instead of

for(i = 0; i < rowNum; i++)
  for(j = 0; j < colNum; j++)
     printf("%3d", matrix[i][j]);

//You would use:

element = rowNum x colNum;

for(i = 0; i < (well, you know the rest, ...

for( x = 0; x < rows; x++ )
    printrow( matrix[ x ] );

There you go.
