Finding the size of a matrix in C++

To find the size of a matrix in C++, you need to determine the number of rows and columns it has. Here's how you can do it:

1. Declare and initialize the matrix:
2. Start by declaring a 2D array to represent the matrix.

3. Initialize the array with the desired values.

4. Calculate the number of rows and columns:

5. To find the number of rows, divide the total size of the array by the number of columns.

6. To find the number of columns, divide the total size of the array by the number of rows.

7. Print the size of the matrix:

8. Output the number of rows and columns to display the size of the matrix.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to find the size of a matrix in C++:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    // Declare and initialize the matrix
    int matrix[3][4] = {
        {1, 2, 3, 4},
        {5, 6, 7, 8},
        {9, 10, 11, 12}
    };

    // Calculate the number of rows and columns
    int numRows = sizeof(matrix) / sizeof(matrix[0]);
    int numCols = sizeof(matrix[0]) / sizeof(matrix[0][0]);

    // Print the size of the matrix
    std::cout << "Number of rows: " << numRows << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Number of columns: " << numCols << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

In this example, the matrix has 3 rows and 4 columns. The sizeof operator is used to calculate the size of the array in bytes. By dividing the total size by the size of a single row or column, we can determine the number of rows and columns in the matrix.
