    How do I multiply two square matrices by 1 nested loop?

    I managed to print the matrix in one loop, but how can I multiply two matrices in 2 loops (1 nested loop), please help!!

    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    using namespace std;
    #define size 4
    int main()
    {
      int M[size][size] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 };
      int *ptrMatris = &M[0][0];
      for (int i = 1; i <= 16; i++) {
        cout << *ptrMatris++ << " ";
        if (i % size == 0)
          cout << endl;
      }
      return 0;
    }

    This way?
    Code:
    void m4x4_mult( double *m, double *n, double *r )
    {
      int i, j;
    
      for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ )
        for ( j = 0; j < 4; j++ )
        {
          r[i+4*j] = m[4*j]   * n[i]   +
                     m[4*j+1] * n[i+4] +
                     m[4*j+2] * n[i+8] +
                     m[4*j+3] * n[i+12];
        }
    }

    You'll need a third loop for a variable square matrix dimensions...
