Task
Matrix multiplication
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Multiply two matrices together. They can be of any dimensions, so long as the number of columns of the first matrix is equal to the number of rows of the second matrix.

Ada

Ada has matrix multiplication predefined for any floating-point or complex type. The implementation is provided by the standard library packages Ada.Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays and Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Arrays correspondingly. The following example illustrates use of real matrix multiplication for the type Float: <lang ada> with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO; with Ada.Numerics.Real_Arrays; use Ada.Numerics.Real_Arrays;

procedure Matrix_Product is

  procedure Put (X : Real_Matrix) is
     type Fixed is delta 0.01 range -100.0..100.0;
  begin
     for I in X'Range (1) loop
        for J in X'Range (2) loop
           Put (Fixed'Image (Fixed (X (I, J))));
        end loop;
        New_Line;
     end loop;
  end Put;
  
  A : constant Real_Matrix :=
        (  ( 1.0,  1.0,  1.0,   1.0),
           ( 2.0,  4.0,  8.0,  16.0),
           ( 3.0,  9.0, 27.0,  81.0),
           ( 4.0, 16.0, 64.0, 256.0)
        );
  B : constant Real_Matrix :=
        (  (  4.0,     -3.0,      4.0/3.0,  -1.0/4.0 ),
           (-13.0/3.0, 19.0/4.0, -7.0/3.0,  11.0/24.0),
           (  3.0/2.0, -2.0,      7.0/6.0,  -1.0/4.0 ),
           ( -1.0/6.0,  1.0/4.0, -1.0/6.0,   1.0/24.0)
        );

begin

  Put (A * B);

end Matrix_Product; </lang> Sample output:

 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00
 0.00 0.00 1.00 0.00
 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00

The following code illustrates how matrix multiplication could be implemented from scratch: <lang ada>

package Matrix_Ops is
   type Matrix is array (Natural range <>, Natural range <>) of Float;
   function "*" (Left, Right : Matrix) return Matrix;
end Matrix_Ops;
package body Matrix_Ops is
   ---------
   -- "*" --
   ---------
   function "*" (Left, Right : Matrix) return Matrix is
      Temp : Matrix(Left'Range(1), Right'Range(2)) := (others =>(others => 0.0));
   begin
      if Left'Length(2) /= Right'Length(1) then
         raise Constraint_Error;
      end if;
     
      for I in Left'range(1) loop
         for J in Right'range(2) loop
            for K in Left'range(2) loop
               Temp(I,J) := Temp(I,J) + Left(I, K)*Right(K, J);
            end loop;
         end loop;
      end loop;
      return Temp;
   end "*";
end Matrix_Ops;

</lang>

ALGOL 68

An example of user defined Vector and Matrix Multiplication Operators:

MODE FIELD = LONG REAL; # field type is LONG REAL #
INT default upb:=3;
MODE VECTOR = [default upb]FIELD;
MODE MATRIX = [default upb,default upb]FIELD;

# crude exception handling #
PROC VOID raise index error := VOID: GOTO exception index error;

# define the vector/matrix operators #
OP * = (VECTOR a,b)FIELD: ( # basically the dot product #
    FIELD result:=0;
    IF LWB a/=LWB b OR UPB a/=UPB b THEN raise index error FI;
    FOR i FROM LWB a TO UPB a DO result+:= a[i]*b[i] OD;
    result
  );

OP * = (VECTOR a, MATRIX b)VECTOR: ( # overload vector times matrix #
    [2 LWB b:2 UPB b]FIELD result;
    IF LWB a/=LWB b OR UPB a/=UPB b THEN raise index error FI;
    FOR j FROM 2 LWB b TO 2 UPB b DO result[j]:=a*b[,j] OD;
    result
  );
 # this is the task portion #
 OP * = (MATRIX a, b)MATRIX: ( # overload matrix times matrix #
     [LWB a:UPB a, 2 LWB b:2 UPB b]FIELD result;
     IF 2 LWB a/=LWB b OR 2 UPB a/=UPB b THEN raise index error FI;
     FOR k FROM LWB result TO UPB result DO result[k,]:=a[k,]*b OD;
     result
   );
# Some sample matrices to test #
MATRIX a=((1,  1,  1,   1), # matrix A #
          (2,  4,  8,  16),
          (3,  9, 27,  81),
          (4, 16, 64, 256));

MATRIX b=((  4  , -3  ,  4/3,  -1/4 ), # matrix B #
          (-13/3, 19/4, -7/3,  11/24),
          (  3/2, -2  ,  7/6,  -1/4 ),
          ( -1/6,  1/4, -1/6,   1/24));

MATRIX prod = a * b; # actual multiplication example of A x B #

FORMAT real fmt = $g(-6,2)$; # width of 6, with no '+' sign, 2 decimals #
PROC real matrix printf= (FORMAT real fmt, MATRIX m)VOID:(
  FORMAT vector fmt = $"("n(2 UPB m-1)(f(real fmt)",")f(real fmt)")"$;
  FORMAT matrix fmt = $x"("n(UPB m-1)(f(vector fmt)","lxx)f(vector fmt)");"$;
  # finally print the result #
  printf((matrix fmt,m))
);
  
# finally print the result #
print(("Product of a and b: ",new line));
real matrix printf(real fmt, prod)
EXIT 

exception index error: 
  putf(stand error, $x"Exception: index error."l$)

Output:

Product of a and b: 
((  1.00, -0.00, -0.00, -0.00),
 ( -0.00,  1.00, -0.00, -0.00),

 ( -0.00, -0.00, -0.00,  1.00));

APL

Matrix multiply in APL is just +.×. For example:

      x  ←  +.×
      
      A  ←  ↑A*¨⊂A←⍳4   ⍝  Same  A  as in other examples (1 1 1 1⍪ 2 4 8 16⍪ 3 9 27 81,[0.5] 4 16 64 256) 
      B  ←  ⌹A          ⍝  Matrix inverse of A
      
      'F6.2' ⎕FMT A x B
  1.00  0.00  0.00  0.00
  0.00  1.00  0.00  0.00

Assume the matrices to be multiplied are a and b

IF (LEN(a,2) = LEN(b)) 'if valid dims
       n = LEN(a,2)
       m = LEN(a)
       p = LEN(b,2)

       FOR i = 0 TO m - 1

Fortran

In ISO Fortran 90 or later, use the SIZE and MATMUL intrinsic functions: <lang fortran> real, dimension(n,m) :: a = reshape( (/ (i, i=1, n*m) /), (/ n, m /) )

   real, dimension(m,k) :: b = reshape( (/ (i, i=1, m*k) /), (/ m, k /) )
   real, dimension(size(a,1), size(b,2)) :: c    ! C is an array whose first dimension (row) size
                                                 ! is the same as A's first dimension size, and
                                                 ! whose second dimension (column) size is the same
                                                 ! as B's second dimension size.
   c = matmul( a, b )
   
   print *, 'A'
   do i = 1, n
       print *, a(i,:)
   end do
   
   print *,
   print *, 'B'
   do i = 1, m

Haskell

A somewhat inefficient version with lists (transpose is expensive):

 import Data.List

 mmult :: Num a => [[a]] -> [[a]] -> [[a]] 
 mmult a b = [ [ sum $ zipWith (*) ar bc | bc <- (transpose b) ] | ar <- a ]
 
 -- Example use:
 test = [[1, 2],
         [3, 4]] `mmult` [[-3, -8, 3],
                          [-2,  1, 4]]

A more efficient version, based on arrays:

 import Data.Array
 
 mmult :: (Ix i, Num a) => Array (i,i) a -> Array (i,i) a -> Array (i,i) a 
 mmult x y 
   | x1 /= y0 || x1' /= y0'  = error "range mismatch"
   | otherwise               = array ((x0,y1),(x0',y1')) l
   where
     ((x0,x1),(x0',x1')) = bounds x
     ((y0,y1),(y0',y1')) = bounds y
     ir = range (x0,x0')
     jr = range (y1,y1')
     kr = range (x1,x1')
     l  = [((i,j), sum [x!(i,k) * y!(k,j) | k <- kr]) | i <- ir, j <- jr]

IDL

J

Matrix multiply in J is just +/ .*. For example: <lang j>

  mp  =:  +/ .*      NB.  Matrix product
  
  A  =:  ^/~>:i. 4   NB.  Same  A  as in other examples (1 1 1 1, 2 4 8 16, 3 9 27 81,:4 16 64 256)
  B  =:  %.A         NB.  Matrix inverse of A
    
  '6.2' 8!:2 A mp B

1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.00 </lang> The notation is for a generalized inner product so that <lang j>

  x ~:/ .*. y   NB. boolean inner product ( ~: is "not equal" (exclusive or) and *. is "and")
  x *./ .=  y   NB. which rows of x are the same as vector y?
  x + / .=  y   NB. number of places where each row of x equals vector y

</lang> etc.

The general inner product extends to multidimensional arrays, requiring only that x and y be conformable (trailing dimension of array x equals the leading dimension of array y). For example, the matrix multiplication of two dimensional arrays requires x to have the same numbers of rows as y has columns, as you would expect.

Java

public static double[][] mult(double a[][], double b[][]){//a[m][n], b[n][p]
   if(a.length == 0) return new double[0][0];
   if(a[0].length != b.length) return null; //invalid dims

   int n = a[0].length;
   int m = a.length;
   int p = b[0].length;

   double ans[][] = new double[m][p];

   for(int i = 0;i < m;i++){
      for(int j = 0;j < p;j++){
         for(int k = 0;k < n;k++){
            ans[i][j] += a[i][k] * b[k][j];
         }
      }
   }
   return ans;
}

Mathematica

M2 = {{1, 2, 3},
      {4, 5, 6}}
M = M1.M2

Or without the variables:

{{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}, {7, 8}}.{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}

The result is:

{{9, 12, 15}, {19, 26, 33}, {29, 40, 51}, {39, 54, 69}}

Perl

For most applications involving extensive matrix arithmetic, using the CPAN module called "PDL" (that stands for "Perl Data Language") would probably be the easiest and most efficient approach. That said, here's an implementation of matrix multiplication in plain Perl.

<lang perl>sub mmult

{our @a; local *a = shift;
 our @b; local *b = shift;
 my @p = [];
 my $rows = @a;
 my $cols = @{$b[0]};
 my $n = @b - 1;
 for (my $r = 0 ; $r < $rows ; ++$r)
    {for (my $c = 0 ; $c < $cols ; ++$c)
        {$p[$r][$c] += $a[$r][$_] * $b[$_][$c] foreach 0 .. $n;}}
 return [@p];}</lang>

This function takes two references to arrays of arrays and returns the product as a reference to a new anonymous array of arrays.
