Program to concatenate two given Matrices of same size

Last Updated : 12 Apr, 2021

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;
}
