What is wrong with my multiplication?

Can anybody tell me where my mistake is ? The problem is that it doesn't show the multiplicated matrix?

You are trying to multiple matrix1 and matrix2 before they are ever defined.

Also, you didn't call outputmatrix for the matrixResult matrix.
I still have no idea how to fix it ? Can you write what is missing in the program.I forgot to mention that the only needed thing is to show the result of the multiplied matrix.

.... No you aren't even defining matrix1 and matrix2 to multiply...

Did you even read what I wrote?

How can you multiply two things that are never defined?
Ok dude can you add the things that are missing ? I'm not saying right now, on the second, I mean later on when you are free .. just add the missing things, please.Thank you.
just to elaborate on what @pindrought said

1. you have not actually put any values in either of the 2d arrays "matrix1" or "matrix2". As you can see on line 42 you only call the GenMatrix function once for the 2d array "matrix" i'm not sure why you do this because you don't actually use "matrix"anywhere else in your program.

you need to call GenMatrix two more times. Once with "matrix1" as the first parameter and then another time with "matrix2" as your first parameter. this will define the matrix's as @pindrought has previously said.

2. after you call the MultiplicationMatrixes function on line 56, you need to again call the Outputmatrix function with the 2d array matrixResult as your first parameter.

you need to do this so that you can actually see the matrix with the multiplied values.

Ok so this is what I've come to .. can you tell me if there is anything else wrong with the main function now and if you can help me out with the OutputMatrix for the matrixResult .. I can't think of the other 2 parameters..

you need to add

#include<cstdlib>
#include <time.h>


to the beginning of your program.

also if you truly understand the function OutputMatrix and understand what each parameter is doing you would know what you need to put for the last two parameters. Nonetheless I will give you a hint.

look at lines 44 and 48 where you first called OutputMatrix and compare them to the function call on line 54.
Welp if you are telling me to put "n,m" as parameters it does no good to the matrixResult output . . So besides the two missing parameters from OutputMatrix for the matrixResult is there anything else wrong with the program ?
