Product of middle row and column in an odd square matrix

Last Updated : 24 Mar, 2023

Given an integer square matrix of odd dimensions (3 * 3, 5 * 5). The task is to find the product of the middle row & middle column elements.

Examples:  

Input: mat[][] = 
{{2, 1, 7},
 {3, 7, 2},
 {5, 4, 9}}
Output: Product of middle row = 42
        Product of middle column = 28
Explanation: Product of Middle row elements (3*7*2)
Product of Middle Column elements (1*7*4)

Input: mat[][] =
{ {1, 3, 5, 6, 7},
  {3, 5, 3, 2, 1},
  {1, 2, 3, 4, 5},
  {7, 9, 2, 1, 6},
  {9, 1, 5, 3, 2}}
Output: Product of middle row = 120
        Product of middle column = 450 

Approach: 

As the given matrix is of odd dimensions, so the middle row and column will be always at the n/2th. So, Run a loop from i = 0 to N and produce all the elements of the middle row

i.e. row_prod *= mat[n / 2][i]. Similarly, the product of elements of the middle column will be col_prod *= mat[i][n / 2].

Below is the implementation of the above approach:  

C++
// C++ program to find product of
// middle row and middle column in matrix
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
const int MAX = 100;

void middleProduct(int mat[][MAX], int n)
{

    // loop for product of row and column
    int row_prod = 1, col_prod = 1;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        row_prod *= mat[n / 2][i];
        col_prod *= mat[i][n / 2];
    }

    // Print result
    cout << "Product of middle row = "
         << row_prod << endl;

    cout << "Product of middle column = "
         << col_prod;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    int mat[][MAX] = { { 2, 1, 7 },
                       { 3, 7, 2 },
                       { 5, 4, 9 } };

    middleProduct(mat, 3);

    return 0;
}
C
// C program to find product of
// middle row and middle column in matrix
#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX 100
void middleProduct(int mat[][MAX], int n)
{

  // loop for product of row and column
  int row_prod = 1, col_prod = 1;
  for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    row_prod *= mat[n / 2][i];
    col_prod *= mat[i][n / 2];
  }

  // Print result
  printf("Product of middle row = %d\n",row_prod);
  printf("Product of middle column = %d\n",col_prod);

}

// Driver code
int main()
{
  int mat[][MAX] = { { 2, 1, 7 },
                    { 3, 7, 2 },
                    { 5, 4, 9 } };

  middleProduct(mat, 3);

  return 0;
}
