This is my matrix multiplication program...
I attached the program and the output in this mail...
In output c[0][1] value is coming .... I dont know why...?

I have a couple of suggestions. First you need to validate the user input. What happens if the user enters a value larger than the size of your arrays?

Next use meaningful variable names. Trying to follow the logic with the use of all those single variable names is tedious.

Next I suggest you run this program thru your debugger. Set a breakpoint and single step thru the program watching the variables as you step.

I really suspect that you are going to find your loops are the problem. Anytime I see a loop control section using the operator<= rings bells in my mind. In C/C++ arrays start at zero and end at size - 1 so using operator<= will quite often result in accessing the arrays out of bounds.
