create a simple program that can multiply two matrices using if statement in matlab

To create a simple program that can multiply two matrices using an if statement in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

1. Define the two matrices that you want to multiply.
2. Use an if statement to check whether the number of columns in the first matrix is equal to the number of rows in the second matrix. If they are not equal, display an error message.
3. If the dimensions are compatible, create a result matrix to store the product of the two matrices.
4. Use nested for loops to iterate through the rows and columns of the matrices. Multiply the corresponding elements from the first and second matrices and sum them up to calculate each element of the result matrix.
5. Display the result matrix.

Here is an example implementation:

main.m
matrix1 = [1, 2; 3, 4; 5, 6];    % Define the first matrix
matrix2 = [7, 8, 9; 10, 11, 12];  % Define the second matrix

% Check whether the matrices can be multiplied
if size(matrix1, 2) ~= size(matrix2, 1)
    disp('Error: The number of columns in the first matrix is not equal to the number of rows in the second matrix.');
else
    % Create a result matrix
    result = zeros(size(matrix1, 1), size(matrix2, 2));

    % Multiply the matrices
    for i = 1:size(matrix1, 1)
        for j = 1:size(matrix2, 2)
            for k = 1:size(matrix2, 1)
                result(i, j) = result(i, j) + matrix1(i, k) * matrix2(k, j);
            end
        end
    end

    % Display the result matrix
    disp('Result:');
    disp(result);
end

Note: This example assumes that the two matrices have compatible dimensions for multiplication. If the dimensions are not compatible, it displays an error message.
