How can I use the same user defined function for matrix in C?

Question

I need to use the same user defined function in C, for adding and subtracting matrices in C.

This should be the code I need to declare

void matrixAddSub(int arrayone[10][10], int arraytwo[10][10], int rows, int colums);

right now I'm declaring two functions

void matrixAdd(int arrayone[10][10], int arraytwo[10][10], int rows, int colums);
void matrixSub(int arrayone[10][10], int arraytwo[10][10], int rows, int colums);

When I debug my code it does the work but I need to reduce the amount of code that I have type. Here's my code definition.

void matrixAdd(int arrayone[10][10], int arraytwo[10][10], int rows, int colums){
    int i, j;
    int sumM[10][10];

    for (i = 0; i < rows; i++){
        for (j = 0; j < colums; j++){
            sumM[i][j] = arrayone[i][j] + arraytwo[i][j];
            printf("\t%d", sumM[i][j]);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
}

void matrixSub(int arrayone[10][10], int arraytwo[10][10], int rows, int colums){
    int i, j;
    int sumM[10][10];

    for (i = 0; i < rows; i++){
        for (j = 0; j < colums; j++){
            sumM[i][j] = arrayone[i][j] - arraytwo[i][j];
            printf("\t%d", sumM[i][j]);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
}

UPDATE

dasblinkenlight Here's what I end up doing with your suggestions:

Declared in main function int add =1; int sub = -1;

//user defined functions declaration
void matrixAddSub(int arrayone[10][10], int arraytwo[10][10], int rows, int colums, int mul);
//user defined function definition
void matrixAddSub(int arrayone[10][10], int arraytwo[10][10], int rows, int colums, int mul){
    int i, j;
    int sumM[10][10];
    int scaM[10][10];
    for (i = 0; i < rows; i++){
        for (j = 0; j < colums; j++){
            scaM[i][j] = mul * arraytwo[i][j];
            }
        }


    for (i = 0; i < rows; i++){
        for (j = 0; j < colums; j++){
            sumM[i][j] = arrayone[i][j] + scaM[i][j];
            printf("\t%d", sumM[i][j]);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
}

Answer 1

Consider:

• Subtraction is an addition of an additive inverse
• The additive inverse of a number is the number multiplied by -1 .

Use these two facts to unify addition and subtraction. Write the following function:

static void matrixAddOrSubtract(
    int arrayone[10][10]
,   int arraytwo[10][10]
,   size_t rows
,   size_t columns
,   int mul); // Multiply arraytwo[i][j] by mul before adding to arrayone[i][j]

Now both of your functions could be re-written as single-line invocations of matrixAddOrSubtract :

void matrixAdd(int arrayone[10][10], int arraytwo[10][10], size_t rows, size_t columns) {
    matrixAddOrSubtract(arrayone, arraytwo, rows, columns, 1);
}
void matrixSub(int arrayone[10][10], int arraytwo[10][10], size_t rows, size_t columns) {
    matrixAddOrSubtract(arrayone, arraytwo, rows, columns, -1);
}
