How to Add and Subtract Two Matrices in Java

This is the second program in the series of matrices related programming exercises in Java. In the last program, you have learned matrix multiplication and in this program, you will learn how to perform addition and subtraction of two matrices in Java. We'll create methods to calculate both sum and difference of two matrices in Java program. In Mathematics, a matrix is a rectangular array with two dimensions known as rows and columns. In Java, your can use a two-dimensional array to represent a matrix because it also has two dimensions rows and columns. Since a 2D array is nothing but an array of the array in Java, the length of the outer array is equal to the number of rows and length of sub-array is equal to the number of columns.
