Still can't get the function right with a matrix

Billy George (9)
So I read the function 1 and 2 on the forum and kinda understand it. But I cannot apply it to when it comes to matrices. The homework problem wants me to write functions on multiplying and adding functions. I got the math part right as you can see on line 36 and 63.

So now I am trying to write function where I can add the two first, but I keep coming up with errors.

My function is line 7 and my recall of that function is line 35. I've tried different ways of writing it and keep getting errors. Please help with this one function and so I can write the other function for multiplying them.

Thank you!

Arrays in C++ are basically pointers. In your function:
Line 7: allocating memory for array;
Line 14: Returning pointer to MC[0][0]
Line 15: MC goes out of scope and is deallocated.

Posiible solutions:
a) Dinamically allocate your array.
b) Pass array you, want write result to, to your addMatrix function.
voidmainvoid (10)
MiinIPaa is correct. You need to pass the result array to AddMatrix Function.
I have fixed your program.

Thank you very much!

So when I am calling the function for a matrix operation, I don't need to add the [3][3] on line 34. Is that because it was already defined?

But when I am writing a function, I need to specify the [3][3] like on line 7?

Thank you again.

I have a very similar problem i'm encountering myself with a solution. I was confused as to if you could just utilize a nested for loop such as

int i, j;
for(i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
for(j = 0; j < 3; j++)
{

Rather than just as you did with a third for loop with i j k going to less 2.
