In one of my interview the interview asked me about Matrix Multiplication, wanted to understand how does this work? Any code example can anyone suggest me?

You can use for-loop to implement Matrix Multiplication in Java

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class MatrixMultiplicationExample{  
  public static void main(String args[]){  
 
    int row1, col1, row2, col2;
    Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.print("Enter number of rows in first matrix:");
    row1 = s.nextInt();
    System.out.print("Enter number of columns in first matrix:");
    col1 = s.nextInt();
    System.out.print("Enter number of rows in second matrix:");
    row2 = s.nextInt();
    System.out.print("Enter number of columns in second matrix:");
    col2 = s.nextInt();
 
    if (col1 != row2) {
        System.out.println("Matrix multiplication is not possible");
    }
    else {
        int a[][] = new int[row1][col1];
        int b[][] = new int[row2][col2];
        int c[][] = new int[row1][col2];
 
        System.out.println("Enter values for matrix A : \n");
        for (int i = 0; i < row1; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < col1; j++) 
                a[i][j] = s.nextInt();
        }
        System.out.println("Enter values for matrix B : \n");
        for (int i = 0; i < row2; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < col2; j++) 
                b[i][j] = s.nextInt();
        }
 
        System.out.println("Matrix multiplication is : \n");
        for(int i = 0; i < row1; i++) {    
            for(int j = 0; j < col2; j++){    
              c[i][j]=0;      
              for(int k = 0; k < col1; k++){      
                c[i][j] += a[i][k] * b[k][j];      
              }
              System.out.print(c[i][j] + " ");  
            }
            System.out.println();
        }    
    }
  }
}

// *To perform matrix multiplication, the first matrix must have the same number of columns as the second matrix has rows. 

public class MatrixMultiplicationExample{  
public static void main(String args[]){  
  //matrix 1
int a[][]={{1,1,1},{2,2,2},{3,3,3}}; 
  //matrix 2
int b[][]={{1,1,1},{2,2,2},{3,3,3}};    
    
//creating another matrix to store the multiplication of two matrices    
int c[][]=new int[3][3];  //3 rows and 3 columns  
    
//multiplying and printing multiplication of 2 matrices    
for(int i=0;i<3;i++){    
for(int j=0;j<3;j++){    
c[i][j]=0;      
for(int k=0;k<3;k++)      
{      
c[i][j]+=a[i][k]*b[k][j];      
}//end of k loop  
System.out.print(c[i][j]+" ");  //printing matrix element  
}//end of j loop  
System.out.println();   
}    
}}
