Addition of Two Matrix in Java Examples

In this post, you will see how to write a program for the Addition of Two Matrix in Java. Here, we will show you two examples, one with two static matrices, and another one with dynamic matrices.

Rules for the Addition of two Matrix:

  1. The addition of matrix can be done when the dimensions of the matrices are the same.
  2. Matrix addition is the operation of adding two matrices by adding the corresponding entries together.
  3. The resultant matrix dimension will be the same as matrix1 and matrix2.

Addition of two matrix Example:

Java Program to Add the Two Matrices

Example-1: Addition of Matrices in Java

package com.javacodepoint.array.multidimensional;

/**
 * Matrix Addition Example
 */
public class AddTwoMatrix {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		// Declare and Initialize 
		// two Matrices of dimension 3x2
		int matrix1[][] = { { 1, 2 }, 
							{ 3, 4 }, 
							{ 5, 6 } 
						  };
		int matrix2[][] = { { 1, 2 }, 
							{ 3, 4 }, 
							{ 5, 6 } 
						  };
		
		// Declare third matrix of same dimension 3x2
		// to store the addition of two matrices
		int matrix3[][] = new int[3][2];
		
		// Add two matrices
		for (int i = 0; i < matrix1.length; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < matrix1[0].length; j++) {
				matrix3[i][j] = matrix1[i][j] + matrix2[i][j];
			}
		}

		// Print the result matrix
		System.out.println("The resultant Matrix3 =>");
		for (int i = 0; i < matrix3.length; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < matrix3[0].length; j++) {
				System.out.print(matrix3[i][j] + "  ");
			}
			// move cursor to new row/line
			System.out.println();
		}

	}

}

OUTPUT:

The resultant Matrix3 =>
2 4
6 8
10 12

Example-2: Addition of two Matrix using Scanner in Java

package com.javacodepoint.array.multidimensional;

import java.util.Scanner;

/**
 * Matrix Addition Example using Scanner
 */
public class AddTwoMatrix2 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		// Declare variables for matrix dimension
		int row1, col1, row2, col2;

		// Creating scanner object for reading user input
		Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

		System.out.println("Enter the first matrix dimension,");
		System.out.print("Row= ");
		row1 = sc.nextInt();
		System.out.print("Column= ");
		col1 = sc.nextInt();

		System.out.println("Enter the second matrix dimension,");
		System.out.print("Row= ");
		row2 = sc.nextInt();
		System.out.print("Column= ");
		col2 = sc.nextInt();

		if (row1 != row2 || col1 != col2) {
			System.out.println("Addition of Matrices is not possible. Dimensions of both matrices should be same!");
			return;
		}

		// Declare three Matrices
		int matrix1[][] = new int[row1][col1];
		int matrix2[][] = new int[row2][col2];
		int matrix3[][] = new int[row1][col1]; // can be take row2/col2 as well

		// Read the user inputs for matrix1
		System.out.println("Enter Matrix1 (" + row1 + "x" + col1 + "),");
		for (int i = 0; i < row1; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < col1; j++) {
				System.out.print("Enter value for [" + i + "][" + j + "]= ");
				matrix1[i][j] = sc.nextInt();
			}
		}

		// Read the user inputs for matrix2
		System.out.println("Enter Matrix2 (" + row1 + "x" + col1 + "),");
		for (int i = 0; i < row2; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < col2; j++) {
				System.out.print("Enter value for [" + i + "][" + j + "]= ");
				matrix2[i][j] = sc.nextInt();
			}
		}

		// Add two matrices
		for (int i = 0; i < row1; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < col1; j++) {
				matrix3[i][j] = matrix1[i][j] + matrix2[i][j];
			}
		}

		// Print the result matrix
		System.out.println("The resultant Matrix3 (" + row1 + "x" + col1 + "),");
		for (int i = 0; i < row1; i++) {
			for (int j = 0; j < col1; j++) {
				System.out.print(matrix3[i][j] + "  ");
			}
			// move cursor to new row/line
			System.out.println();
		}

	}

}

OUTPUT:

Enter the first matrix dimension,
Row= 2
Column= 3
Enter the second matrix dimension,
Row= 2
Column= 3
Enter Matrix1 (2×3),
Enter value for [0][0]= 1

Enter value for [0][1]= 2
Enter value for [0][2]= 3
Enter value for [1][0]= 4
Enter value for [1][1]= 5
Enter value for [1][2]= 6
