Multi-Dimensional Arrays
Arrays can also have additional arrays inside them. Such arrays are called Multi-Dimensional Arrays. These are useful when we want to store the data in a tabular form, with rows and columns, or in the form of a matrix.
We can declare a two-dimensional array using the following syntax:
main
The array created using the above syntax will have the length (size) equal to lengthX
and each element will be an array of size lengthY
. For-example:
main
In the above case, we create a new two-dimensional matrix of 3x3 size. It means that it can hold 9
integer numbers. We can initialize a 2D array using the following syntax:
main
For-example:
main
The above is a 3x4 matrix and it can store 12 elements. The following illustration shows a 3x3 matrix in a visualized form:
Indexing in multidimensional arrays is similar to the normal arrays. We simply mention the row and the column index.
main
For example, if we want to access 6
from the numbers
array (shown in the illustration), we will access the 2nd row and the 3rd column:
main
Higher dimensional arrays are also possible by adding extra commas to the declaration syntax:
main
In the above code myArray3D
will have 60
elements (3x4x5), while ``myArray4Dwill have
1800` elements (5x4x9x10).
Following is how you would initialize a 3D array:
main
