Write a C program to multiply matrix A and matrix B of variable. For both A and B, the size of the matrix will be given along with the entries of the matrix in two input files, inA. txt and inB. txt. The first line of the input file will contain the number of rows followed by the number of columns of the matrix. The entries of the matrix are listed on the next line in row-major order. Print the output matrix C to outC. txt in the same format as input files. Be sure to include comments in your code.

omg taking this same test i was stuck on the same question i was too lazy to read the book sadly i cant really give you an answer to this question too complex the answer will be in chapter 5 of the cay
