Thread: Matrices multiplicarion algorithm

Hi folks, i'm doing a program that recieves two matrices from the user and multiply them together. All my code is done except for the multiplication function. I know that i must use "for loops" but how many :S

i'm passint object to be the operand while the the calling object is having the "this" pointer, it goes like this

let A be the first matrice
let B be the second matrice

A.operator*(B);

i have absolutely no idea, this is the function:

Code:

Matrix Matrix::operator*(const Matrix& rhs)
{
       Matrix result;
       
       //is this correct ?
       result = *(this)*rhs;
       
       if (this == &rhs)
       {
                return *this;
       }
       else 
       {
            //Checks if matrices are able to be multiplied 
            if (this->m_Columns == rhs.m_Rows)
            {
                                //Do multiplication                  
            }
            else
            {
                cout << "Cannot perform multiplication." << endl;
                cout << "Columns of first matrix don't ";
                cout << "match the rows of the second matrix" << endl;
            }
       }
       
       return result;
}

ca any one help please

Well have you looked up how to do matrix multiplication on paper?
Say
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MatrixMultiplication.html

it's not any homework i'm just doing that to improve my operator overloading skills + improving my dynamic memory use

also i've taken vow that i will never take C++ to the next level (API + DirectX) until i make decent dos math program
