Multiply two Matrices by Passing Matrix to Function using C++

04-11-17 Course- CPP

In this program asks user to enter the size of the matrix (rows and columns) then, it asks the user to enter the elements of two matrices and finally it multiplies two matrix and displays the result. To perform this task three functions are made:

To take matrix elements from user To multiply two matrix To display the resultant matrix after multiplication
