This post shows a Java program to subtract two matrices.
When you subtract two matrices you subtract the element at the same index in both matrices so you’ll subtract the element at index (0, 0) in the first matrix with the element at index (0, 0) in the second matrix to get the element at (0, 0) in the resultant matrix. Also note that both of the matrix have to be of the same order for subtraction.
For example – If you are subtracting two 3 X 3 matrices.
