To add two matrices, we need two matrices having the same number of rows and columns. The addition is done by adding corresponding elements.

Algorithm:

Take input of number of rows and columns.
Take input of both the matrices.
Now, use C_i,j= A_i,j+ B_i,j
Print matrix C.

Code:

#include <iostream>\nusing namespace std;\nvoid subtract(int[5][5], int[5][5], int, int);\nint display(int[5][5], int, int);\nint main()\n{\nint a[5][5], b[5][5], r1, c1, r2, c2;\ncout<<\"\\n Enter rows for first matrix: \";\ncin>>r1;\ncout<<\"\\n Enter columns for second matrix: \";\ncin>>c1;\ncout<<\"\\n Enter rows for first matrix: \";\ncin>>r2;\ncout<<\"\\n Enter columns for second matrix: \";\ncin>>c2;
\n// To check if columns of first matrix are equal to rows of second matrix
\nif (r1 != r2 || c1!=c2)\nreturn 0;
\n// Storing elements of first matrix.
\nprintf(\"\\nEnter elements of first matrix \\n\");
\nfor(int i=0; i<r1; i++)\n{\nfor(int j=0; j<c1; j++)\ncin>>a[i][j];
\n}\n
\n// Storing elements of second matrix.\ncout<<\"\\nEnter elements of second matrix\\n\";
\nfor(int i=0; i<r2; i++)\n{\nfor(int j=0; j<c2; j++)\ncin>>b[i][j];\n}\ncout<<\"\\n display a\\n\";\ndisplay(a, r1, c1);\ncout<<\"\\n display a\\n\";\ndisplay(b, r2, c2);\n//calling the function to add elements of a and b. passing number of rows\n//and columns in both of them\nadd(a, b, r1, c1);\nreturn 0;\n}
\nvoid add(int a[5][5], int b[5][5], int row, int col)\n{\nint c[5][5];\n//input 0 for all values of c, in porder to remove\n//the garbage values assigned earlier\nfor(int i=0; i<row; i++)\n{\nfor(int j=0; j<col; j++)\nc[i][j]=0;\n}\n//we apply the same formula as above\nfor(int i=0; i<row; i++)\n{\nfor(int j=0; j<col; j++)\nc[i][j]=a[i][j]+b[i][j];\n}\n//to display matrix\ncout<<\"\\n Matrix c after Addition is:\\n\";\ndisplay(c, row, col);\n}\nint display(int c[5][5], int row, int col)\n{\nfor(int i=0; i<row; i++)\n{\nfor(int j=0; j<col; j++)\ncout<<c[i][j]<<\" \";\ncout<<\"\\n\";\n}\nreturn 0;\n}

Output:

Enter rows for first matrix: 3\nEnter columns for second matrix: 3\nEnter rows for first matrix: 3\nEnter columns for second matrix: 3\nEnter elements of first matrix\n76 35 24\n24 56 24\n86 25 75 \nEnter elements of second matrix \n5 7 8\n7 3 6\n6 3 7 \ndisplay a\n76 35 24\n24 56 24\n86 25 75 \ndisplay b\n5 7 8\n7 3 6\n6 3 7 \n

Matrix c after Addition is:\n81 42 32\n31 59 30\n92 28 82
