error while inserting data in an array- invalid types 'int[int]' for array subscript

Question

I am getting this error when trying to compile my program the code part I am getting this error is:

matrixType MatrixADT::add(matrixType M1, matrixType M2){
    matrixType M;
    for(int i=0;i<M1.matDimension;i++){
        for(int j=0;j<M2.matDimension;j++){
            M.matDimension[i][j] = M1.matDimension[i][j] + M2.matDimension[i][j];//Here is the error
        }
    }
    return M;
}

Complete code can be viewed here.

I have googled for this and found several questions with the same but cant figure out whats the problem.

Why is this tagged c? Why are you passing your arguments by value? And... what is the error? — johnsyweb

Based on the definition of matrixType:

struct matrixType{
    int matDimension;
    int matValues[10][10];
};

You need to change

M.matDimension[i][j] = M1.matDimension[i][j] + M2.matDimension[i][j];

to

M.matValues[i][j] = M1.matValues[i][j] + M2.matValues[i][j];
