| Here is the output:
|
| 2 2 2 2
| 2 2 2 2
| 2 2 2 2
| 2 2 2 2
|
| 3 3 3 2 -- WHY THIS???
| 2 2 2 2
| 2 2 2 2
| 2 2 2 2

Because, you are exceeding the array bounds, and
overwriting memory you don't own.

In your class you declare:

double matrix[3][3];

[snip]

Here you declare:

| const double MATRIX_SIZE = 4;

[snip]

Additionally, look through the magic numbers sprinkled
throughout your code, and you should immediately realise
where the errors are.

Cheers.
