How about the following?
First ask the user for the number of rows and columns, store that in say, nrows
and ncols
(i.e. scanf("%d", &nrows);
) and then allocate memory for a 2D array of size nrows x ncols. Thus you can have a matrix of a size specified by the user, and not fixed at some dimension you've hardcoded!
Then store the elements with for(i = 0;i < nrows; ++i) ...
and display the elements in the same way except you throw in newlines after every row, i.e.
for(i = 0; i < nrows; ++i)
{
for(j = 0; j < ncols ; ++j)
{
printf("%d\t",mat[i][j]);
}
printf("\n");
}
