Subtraction of Two Matrices

This program subtracts one matrix from another element wise.

Problem Statement

Write a Java program to subtract matrix B from matrix A (3x3).

Source Code

1 public class MatrixSubtraction {
2 public static void main(String[] args) {
3 int[][] A = {{5,6,7},{8,9,10},{11,12,13}};
4 int[][] B = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}};
5 int[][] C = new int[3][3];
6 for(int i=0;i<3;i++){
7 for(int j=0;j<3;j++){
8 C[i][j] = A[i][j] - B[i][j];
9 }
10 }
11 for(int i=0;i<3;i++){
12 for(int j=0;j<3;j++){
13 System.out.print(C[i][j]+" ");
14 }
15 System.out.println();
16 }
17 }
18 }

Program Output

4 4 4 
4 4 4 
4 4 4 

Explanation

Two matrices A and B are initialized, and a result matrix C of the same dimensions is filled by nested loops that subtract corresponding elements, demonstrating matrix subtraction and arithmetic operations on multidimensional arrays.
