Two-Dimensional Array

In C++, a two dimensional array can be used to store data in a table-like format with multiple rows and columns. A two dimensional array is an array of arrays that allows the storage of multiple values in a grid structure. Elements in a two dimensional array can be accessed and initialized using nested for loops to loop through each row and column. Example code is provided to initialize and display the elements of a two dimensional array to store and output the temperature readings from two cities over a week.

2 Dimensional Array

In C++, you can create an array of an array


known as multi-dimensional array. For
example:
int x[3][4];
Here, x is a two dimensional array. It can hold a
maximum of 12 elements.
Initialization of two dimensional array
int test[2][3] = {2, 4, -5, 9, 0, 9};
Better way to initialize this array with same
array elements as above.
int test[2][3] = { {2, 4, -5}, {9, 0, 9}};
You can think this array as table with 3 rows and each row has 4
columns as shown below.

Elements in two dimensional array in C++ Programming


Initialization of two dimensional array
int test[2][3] = {2, 4, -5, 9, 0, 9};
Better way to initialize this array with same array elements as
above.
int test[2][3] = { {2, 4, -5}, {9, 0, 9}};
this array has total 2*3 = 6 elements.

Example 1: Two Dimensional Array


C++ Program to display all elements of an initialized two
dimensional array.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int test[3][2] =
{
{2, -5},
{4, 0},
{9, 1}
};
// Accessing two dimensional array using
// nested for loops
for(int i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
{
for(int j = 0; j < 2; ++j)
{
cout<< "test[" << i << "][" << j << "] = " << test[i][j] <<
endl;
}
}
return 0;
}

Output
test[0][0] = 2
test[0][1] = -5
test[1][0] = 4
test[1][1] = 0
test[2][0] = 9
test[2][1] = 1

Example 2: Two Dimensional Array


C++ Program to store temperature of two different cities for a
week and display it.

1.#include <iostream>
2.using namespace std;
3.
4.const int CITY = 2;
5.const int WEEK = 7;
6.
7.int main()
8.{
9. int temperature[CITY][WEEK];
10.
11. cout << "Enter all temperature for a week of
first city and then second city. \n";
12.
13. // Inserting the values into the temperature
array
14. for (int i = 0; i < CITY; ++i)
15. {
16. for(int j = 0; j < WEEK; ++j)
17. {
18. cout << "City " << i + 1 << ", Day "
<< j + 1 << " : ";
19. cin >> temperature[i][j];
20. }
21. }
22.
23. cout << "\n\nDisplaying Values:\n";
24.
25. // Accessing the values from the temperature
array
26. for (int i = 0; i < CITY; ++i)
27. {
28. for(int j = 0; j < WEEK; ++j)
29. {
30. cout << "City " << i + 1 << ", Day "
<< j + 1 << " = " << temperature[i][j] << endl;
31. }
32. }
33.
34. return 0;
35. }
Output
Enter all temperature for a week of first city
and then second city.
City 1, Day 1 : 32
City 1, Day 2 : 33
City 1, Day 3 : 32
City 1, Day 4 : 34
City 1, Day 5 : 35
City 1, Day 6 : 36
City 1, Day 7 : 38
City 2, Day 1 : 23
City 2, Day 2 : 24
City 2, Day 3 : 26
City 2, Day 4 : 22
City 2, Day 5 : 29
City 2, Day 6 : 27
City 2, Day 7 : 23

Displaying Values:
City 1, Day 1 = 32
City 1, Day 2 = 33
City 1, Day 3 = 32
City 1, Day 4 = 34
City 1, Day 5 = 35
City 1, Day 6 = 36
City 1, Day 7 = 38
City 2, Day 1 = 23
City 2, Day 2 = 24
City 2, Day 3 = 26
City 2, Day 4 = 22
City 2, Day 5 = 29
City 2, Day 6 = 27
City 2, Day 7 = 23
