Output

Enter the number of Rows of Mat1 : 3
Enter the number of Columns of Mat1 : 3
Enter the Element a[0][0] : 2
Enter the Element a[0][1] : 4
Enter the Element a[0][2] : 6
Enter the Element a[1][0] : 4
Enter the Element a[1][1] : 2
Enter the Element a[1][2] : 2
Enter the Element a[2][0] : 2
Enter the Element a[2][1] : 4
Enter the Element a[2][2] : 2
Enter the number of Rows of Mat2 : 3
Enter the number of Columns of Mat2 : 3
Enter the Element b[0][0] : 1
Enter the Element b[0][1] : 2
Enter the Element b[0][2] : 3
Enter the Element b[1][0] : 2
Enter the Element b[1][1] : 1
Enter the Element b[1][2] : 1
Enter the Element b[2][0] : 1
Enter the Element b[2][1] : 2
Enter the Element b[2][2] : 1
The Subtraction of two Matrices is :
1       2       3
2       1       1
1       2       1

Note : 2-D array needs two nested for loops

Keep in mind :

1. One Matrix can be subtracted with another only if the order of both matrices is Equal 
2. No of rows of MAT-1 = No of rows of MAT-2
3. No of col of MAT-1 = No of col of MAT-2
4. During subtraction b[0][0] is subtracted from a[0][0] and result is stored in c[0][0]

Special Note :

---

We required two 'for loops' (nested) for following Perpose :

1. Accepting Matrix
2. Displaying Matrix
3. Manipulating Matrix
4. Performing Different Operations on Matrix
