I need a program in C that reads input from a file and finds the minimum number of operations to perform matrix chain multiplication and then returns the chain product.

For the file input the first line is how many matrices there are, the second line is the column and row dimensions, the next lines are the matrix values. The program should work for different number of matrices (Ex: 3, 4, 5... matrices in one file)

Ex: Three matrices of sizes ( 3 x 2, 2 x 1, 1 x 2)

3 // number of matrices 3 2 // dimensions of matrix 1 0 2 // Matrix 1 values 0 2 1 1 2 1 // dimensions of matrix 2 1 // Matrix 2 values 1 1 2 // dimensions of matrix 3 2 3 // Matrix 3 values

The output would be: (minimum cost is 12, final matrix is 3 x 2 matrix)

12 4 6 4 6 4 6
