Parallel Matrix Multiplication

#include <omp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void parallel_matrix_multiply(double **A, double **B, double **C, int n) {
    #pragma omp parallel for collapse(2)
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
            double sum = 0.0;
            for (int k = 0; k < n; k++) {
                sum += A[i][k] * B[k][j];
            }
            C[i][j] = sum;
