Arrays Part 3

Two-dimensional arrays can be thought of as lists of one-dimensional arrays. They are declared with two sets of brackets (type arrayName[x][y]). Each element is accessed via two subscripts, the row and column index. For example, to print the element in row 2 column 3 of array a, code would say printf("%d", a[2][3]). Multi-dimensional arrays allow arrays with more than one subscript, effectively creating arrays of arrays. They are declared with data_type and sizes for each dimension like char cube[50][60][30].

Two-dimensionalArrays: Thus, every element in the array a is identified


by an element name of the form a[i][j].
The simplest form of multidimensional array is
the two- dimensional array. Atwo-dimensional array is, in where ‘a’ is the name of the array, and ‘i’ and ‘j’
essence, a list of one-dimensional arrays. are the subscriptsthat uniquely identify each element in ‘a’.

To declare a two- dimensional integer array of


size[x][y], you would write something as follows: Initializing Two-Dimensional Arrays:
typearrayName[x][y]; Multidimensional arrays may be initialized by
specifying bracketed values for each row.
Where type can be any valid C data type and
arrayName will be a valid C identifier.

Accessing Two-Dimensional ArrayElements:


Following is an array with 3 rows and each row
has 4 columns.
An element in a two-dimensional array is
int a[3][4] ={
accessed by using the subscripts. i.e., row index and
{0,1,2,3},
column index of the array.
{4,5,6,7},
For Example:
{8,9,10,11}
int val = a[2][3];
};
The nested braces, which indicate the intended
The above statement will take the 4 th element
row, are optional. The following initialization is equivalent
from the 3 rdrow of the array.
to the previous example
int a[3][4] ={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11};

Two-Dimensional Arrays program: Output:


#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{ a[0][0]: 0
int a[5][2]={{0,0},{1,2},{2,4},{3,6},{4,8}}; a[0][1]: 0
int i,j; a[1][0]: 1
for(i=0;i<5;i++) a[1][1]: 2
{ a[2][0]: 2
for(j=0;j<2;j++) a[2][1]: 4
{
a[3][0]: 3
printf(“a[%d][%d] = %d\n”,i,j,a[i][j]);
} a[3][1]: 6
} a[4][0]: 4
return 0; a[4][1]: 8
}

Multi-Dimensional Arrays: Declaration of Multidimensional Array


A multidimensional array is declared using the
C programming language supports following syntax
multidimensional Arrays. Syntax:
data_type array_name[d1][d2][d3][d4]....[dn];
• Multi dimensional arrays have more than one Above statement will declare an array on N
subscript variables. dimensions of name array_name, where each element of
• Multi dimensional array is also called as matrix. array is of type data_type.
• Multi dimensional arrays are array o arrays. The maximum number of elements that can be
stored in a multi dimensional array array_name is size1 X
size2 X size3....sizeN.
For example:
char cube[50][60][30];
