C Program to Perform LU Decomposition of Any Matrix

This is a C Program to perform LU decomposition of a given matrix. Every square matrix A can be decomposed into a product of a lower triangular matrix L and a upper triangular matrix U, as described in LU decomposition.
A = LU

Here is source code of the C Program to Perform LU Decomposition of any Matrix. The C program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
