Program to concatenate two given Matrices of same size
Last Updated :

Given two matrices A and B of size M x N, the task is to concatenate them into one matrix.
Concatenation of matrix: The process of appending elements of every row of the matrix one after the other is known as the Concatenation of matrix.
Examples:
Input:
A[][] = {{1, 2},
{3, 4}},
B[][] = {{5, 6},
{7, 8}}
Output:
1 2 5 6
3 4 7 8
Explanation:
Elements of every row of the matrix B
is appended into the row of matrix A.
Input:
A[][] = {{2, 4},
{3, 4}}
B[][] = {{1, 2},
{1, 3}}
Output:
2 4 1 2
3 4 1 3
Approach: The idea is to declare a matrix of size N x 2*M, then traverse over matrix A and store the elements in the first half of the matrix and then similarly iterate over matrix B and store the elements in another half of the matrix with the help of the below formulae:
// For filling the
// first half of matrix
matrix[i][j] = A[i][j]
// For filling the
// second half of matrix
matrix[i][j+N] = A[i][j + N]
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
// C++ implementation to concatenate
// two matrices of size N x M
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define M 2
#define N 2
// Function to concatenate two
// matrices A[][] and B[][]
void mergeMatrix(int A[M][N],
int B[M][N])
{
// Matrix to store
// the result
int C[M][2 * N];
// Merge the two matrices
for (int i = 0; i < M; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < N; j++) {
// To store elements
// of matrix A
C[i][j] = A[i][j];
// To store elements
// of matrix B
C[i][j + N] = B[i][j];
}
}
// Print the result
for (int i = 0; i < M; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 2 * N;
j++)
cout << C[i][j] << " ";
cout << endl;
}
}
// Driven Code
int main()
{
int A[M][N] = { { 1, 2 },
{ 3, 4 } };
int B[M][N] = { { 5, 6 },
{ 7, 8 } };
// Find the merge of
// the 2 matrices
mergeMatrix(A, B);
return 0;
}

for(int i = 0; i < M; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < N; j++)
{
// To store elements
// of matrix A
C[i][j] = A[i][j];
// To store elements
// of matrix B
C[i][j + N] = B[i][j];
}
}
// Print the result
for(int i = 0; i < M; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < 2 * N; j++)

System.out.println();
