C program to accept a matrix and determine whether it is a sparse matrix or not?. A sparse matrix is a matrix, which has more zero elements than nonzero elements.
Program
#include <stdio.h> void main () { static int m1[10][10]; int i,j,m,n; int counter=0; printf ("Enter the order of the matix\n"); scanf ("%d %d",&m,&n); printf ("Enter the co-efficients of the matix\n"); for (i=0;i<m;++i) { for (j=0;j<n;++j) { scanf ("%d",&m1[i][j]); if (m1[i][j]==0) { ++counter; } } } if(counter>((m*n)/2)) { printf ("The given matrix is sparse matrix \n"); } else { printf ("The given matrix is not a sparse matrix \n"); printf ("There are %d number of zeros",counter); } /* ENd of main() */
