Each number is called an entry.
For example, if you have [ -4 1 0 3] as your matrix, it would be negative 4. Whatever negative number is in your matrix is your answer.
int matrix[][]; // the matrix to find the max in int max = matrix[0][0]; int r,c; for(r = 0; r < 3; ++r) { for(c = 0; c < 3; ++c) { if(matrix[r][c] > max) { max = matrix[r][c]; } } } // max is now the maximum number in matrix
First, You have to reduce the matrix to echelon form . The number of nonzero rows in the reduced echelon form matrix (number of linearly independent rows) indicates the rank of the matrix. Go to any search engine and type "Rank of a matrix, Cliffnotes" for an example.
They are the number in the matrix.
