Program for subtraction of matrices

The below program subtracts of two square matrices of size 4*4, we can change N for a different dimension. 

Implementation:




// C++ program for subtraction of matrices
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define N 4 
  
// This function subtracts B[][] from A[][], and stores 
// the result in C[][] 
void subtract(int A[][N], int B[][N], int C[][N]) 
    int i, j; 
    for (i = 0; i < N; i++) 
        for (j = 0; j < N; j++) 
            C[i][j] = A[i][j] - B[i][j]; 
  
// Driver code
int main() 
    int A[N][N] = { {1, 1, 1, 1}, 
                    {2, 2, 2, 2}, 
                    {3, 3, 3, 3}, 
                    {4, 4, 4, 4}}; 
  
    int B[N][N] = { {1, 1, 1, 1}, 
                    {2, 2, 2, 2}, 
                    {3, 3, 3, 3}, 
                    {4, 4, 4, 4}}; 
  
    int C[N][N]; // To store result 
    int i, j; 
    subtract(A, B, C); 
  
    cout << "Result matrix is " << endl; 
    for (i = 0; i < N; i++) 
    
        for (j = 0; j < N; j++) 
        cout << C[i][j] << " "

Output
Result matrix is 
0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 0 

Note – The number at 0th row and 0th column of first matrix gets subtracted with number at 0th row and 0th column of second matrix. And its subtraction result gets initialized as the value of 0th row and 0th column of resultant matrix. Same subtraction process applied for all the elements

The program can be extended for rectangular matrices. The following post can be useful for extending this program.

Time complexity: O(n2). 
Auxiliary space:O(n2). since n2 extra space has been taken.
