This comprehensive course covers the fundamentals and advanced concepts of C programming to build a solid foundation for your programming journey. You’ll learn about essential topics like data types, variables, constants, and C statements, along with deeper explorations of control flow in C, including for loops and conditional statements in C. You’ll also learn about C functions, scope of variables, function arguments, and work with arrays, strings, and pointers in C.

You’ll gain hands-on experience with dynamic memory allocation, stack vs. heap, C standard library, and advanced topics such as binary files, input and output streams, and header files. The course also teaches compiling in C, linking in C, and debugging with tools like GNU debugger (GDB) and gprof for code profiling. By mastering these concepts, you’ll confidently program in C and optimize your code using gcc optimization flags.

Learn C

In an earlier exercise (in the Complex Data Types section), we saw how to print a matrix and how to multiply two matrices. But the size of the matrix was a fixed constant. Now, we want to accomplish the same using a matrix that's created using dynamic memory allocation, so that the number of rows and columns of the matrix are passed as variables to a function `createMatrix`.

# Question


Complete the definitions of the functions `createMatrix`, `destroyMatrix`, `printMatrix`, and `matrixMult` provided below. 

First, your function will be called with two matrices. After that, the function will be applied to these matrices, and the output will be printed. Here is an example of what the output from your finished program might look like:
