C++ program to find transpose of a matrix using class

Submitted by Shubh Pachori, on August 08, 2022

Problem statement

Given matrix, we have to transpose it using the class and object approach.

Example:

Input: 
Enter Matrix:
Enter x[0][0] : 1
Enter x[0][1] : 2
Enter x[1][0] : 3
Enter x[1][1] : 4

Matrix:
1 2 
3 4 

Output: 
Transpose of matrix
1 3 
2 4

C++ Code to find transpose of a matrix using class and object approach

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// create a class
class Matrix {
  // private data members
 private:
  int x[10][10];
  int row, col;

  // public functions
 public:
  // getMatrix() function to insert matrix
  void getMatrix(int r, int c) {
    // initialising a matrix type variable
    Matrix M1;

    // copying value of parameters in the data members
    row = r;
    col = c;

    // nested for loop for insertion of matrix
    for (int i = 0; i < row; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < col; j++) {
        cout << "Enter x[" << i << "][" << j << "] : ";
        cin >> x[i][j];
      }
    }
  }

  // putMatrix() function to print the matrix
  void putMatrix() {
    for (int i = 0; i < row; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < col; j++) {
        cout << x[i][j] << " ";
      }
      cout << "\n";
    }
  }

  // transpose() function to perform transpose the matrix
  Matrix transpose() {
    // initialising a Matrix type variable
    Matrix M;

    // copying the value of parameters in the data members
    M.row = row;
    M.col = col;

    // nested for loop to transpose the matrix
    for (int i = 0; i < row; i++) {
      for (int j = 0; j < col; j++) {
        M.x[j][i] = x[i][j];
      }
    }

    // returning the resulted matrix
    return (M);
  }
};

int main() {
  // creating objects
  Matrix M1, M2;

  // inserting matrix using getMatrix() function
  cout << "Enter Matrix:\n" << endl;
  M1.getMatrix(2, 2);

  // printing the matrix using putMatrix() function
  cout << "\nMatrix:" << endl;
  M1.putMatrix();

  cout << endl;

  // calling transpose() function to transpose the matrix
  M2 = M1.transpose();
  cout << "\nTranspose of matrix\n" << endl;

  // printing the resulted matrix
  M2.putMatrix();

  return 0;
}

Output

Enter Matrix:

Enter x[0][0] : 33
Enter x[0][1] : 22
Enter x[1][0] : 11
Enter x[1][1] : 44

Matrix:
33 22 
11 44 


Transpose of matrix

33 11 
22 44

Explanation

In the above code, we have created a class Matrix, three int type data members x[10][10], row and col to store the matrix, row and column, and public member functions getMatrix(), putMatrix() and transpose() to insert, print and transpose the matrix.

In the main() function, we are creating an object M1 and M2 of class Matrix, reading matrices given by the user using getMatrix() function, and finally calling the transpose() member function to transpose the given matrix. The transpose() function contains the logic to transpose the given matrix and printing the result.
