# MatPreallocateEnd
Ends the block of code that will count the number of nonzeros per row in a matrix providing the data that one can use to correctly preallocate the matrix. 
## Synopsis
```
#include <petscmat.h>
PetscErrorCode MatPreallocateEnd(PetscInt *dnz, PetscInt *onz)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dnz -*** the array that was be passed to the matrix preallocation routines
- ***onz -*** the other array passed to the matrix preallocation routines


 (since v3.19)


## Notes
This routine is no longer needed since assembling matrices without explicit preallocation will not be slower than
the use of this routine

Do not malloc or free `dnz` and `onz`, that is handled internally by these routines


## Developer Note
This is a MACRO not a function because it closes the { started in MatPreallocateBegin().
