I am confused little How i will convert this problem into a c++ code?

Write a C++ program to express any square matrix as a combination of symmetric and skew symmetric matrix. (Hint: If

we write

A = (A+A’)/2 + (A – A’)/2, then (A+A’)/2 term is symmetric matrix and (A – A’)/2 is skew symmetric matrix, A’ means transpose of A.)
