Matrix Analytical Engine

A modular command-line application built entirely in C for parsing and computing matrix operations. Developed as a foundational computer science project during my Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) program to explore procedural algorithms and memory manipulation.

Features

• Mathematical Operations: Supports matrix addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
• Interactive CLI: Continuous menu-driven interface with structured user inputs.
• In-Place Memory Modification: Utilizes array pointers to modify state without relying on global variables.
• Zero Dependencies: Runs entirely on standard C libraries (stdio.h).

Technical Concepts Applied

• Algorithmic Complexity: Implementation of O(n^3) nested loop architecture for cross-multiplication.
• Modular Design: Strict separation of concerns between I/O functions and mathematical logic.
• Control Flow: State-driven continuous event loop.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

You will need a C compiler (like gcc) installed on your system.

Compilation & Execution

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [https://github.com/yourusername/matrix-analytical-engine.git](https://github.com/yourusername/matrix-analytical-engine.git)
