This is the matrix program I used. I left out blank spaces between the line numbers and statements, etc., which are put in here for readability. 10 DIM A(10,10), B(10,10), C(10,10) 20 FOR I = 1 TO 10 30 FOR J = 1 TO 10 40 A(I,J) = 1./3. 50 B(I,J) = 1./7. 60 NEXT 70 NEXT 80 FOR I = 1 TO 10 90 FOR J = 1 TO 10 100 FOR K = 1 TO 10 110 C(I,J) = C(I,J) + A(I,K)*B(K,J) 120 NEXT 130 NEXT 140 NEXT 150 PRINT C(1,1) The last statement signals the completion of the program and by printing out a value of approx .476l9 indicates that the program ran more or less in the manner hoped for. --henry schaffer
