C++ :: Multiplying Matrices And Arrays

Two different matrices will be read from text files (input1.txt, input2.txt) and they will be stored in two dimensional arrays (matrix1, matrix2) and one dimensional arrays (array1, array2). Our aim is to obtain the matrix multiplication using two dimensional and one dimensional arrays.

You are asked to write the main and the following functions. The definitions of the functions are given in the skeleton code.

int read_file(ifstream& in_file, int &row, int &col, double *array, double **matrix)
int write_file(ofstream& out_file, int row, int col, double **matrix)
void print_matrix(double **matrix, int row, int col)
void print_array(double *array, int row, int col)
void multip(double **matrix1, double **matrix2, double **result, int k, int m, int n)
void multip_array(double *array1, double *array2, double *array_result, int k, int m, int n)

You are going to obtain the input and output files as command line arguments

input1.txt :
3 4
2 3 4 5
1 3 5 4
0 4 4 7

The first element in the first line represents the number of rows (3) and the second element represents the number of columns (4) of the matrix (the result file will have the same format).

likewise;

input2.txt :
4 5
1 2 3 4 5
2 9 43 44 21
32 32 32 43 54
1 3 3 4 5

thats my homework and here is the code i wrote from the sceleton code they gave me :

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int read_file(ifstream& in_file, int &row, int &col,/* double *array,*/ double **matrix)

[Code] ....

I didn't understand the array part but even when i exclude the array part i get the program has stopped working message. My os is windows7 ultimate with mingw installed and i compile the program using g++ command in cmd with the arguments input.txt input2.txt resultt.txt
