Curious about matrices and arrays.

[AlphaBravo]

I was reading about matrices and saw how similar they are to arrays in c++. I then opened a new project and tried adding two arrays together like you can with matrices and got the obligatory error 'cannot add two pointers'.
Out of curiosity only I was wondering whether you can add, multiply etc arrays together.

You have to loop through each element and perform the math one element at a time.

Alternatively you can create a C++ class say Matrix and then you overload the operators +, * etc. Then in your calling code, you can code as though the Matrix object can do add and multiply etc in an intuitive manner.

Right gotcha. No magic then...
