bookMultidimensional Arrays

Multidimensional arrays in C++ allow you to store data in more complex structures, such as grids, tables, or matrices. These arrays are especially useful when you need to represent data with more than one attribute, like a chessboard (which has rows and columns) or a multiplication table. In C++, a multidimensional array is most commonly seen as a two-dimensional array, where each element is itself an array. This means you can think of a 2D array as a table with rows and columns, and each position in this table can hold a value.

main.cpp

main.cpp

#include <iostream> int main() { // Declare a 2D array with 3 rows and 4 columns int table[3][4]; // Fill the array with values: value = row * column for (int row = 0; row < 3; ++row) for (int col = 0; col < 4; ++col) table[row][col] = row * col; // Print the array as a table for (int row = 0; row < 3; ++row) { for (int col = 0; col < 4; ++col) std::cout << table[row][col] << " "; std::cout << std::endl; } }

In the code above, you first declare a two-dimensional array named table with three rows and four columns using int table[3][4];. This means the valid indices for rows are 0 to 2, and for columns are 0 to 3. The nested for loops fill the array so that each element is set to the product of its row and column indices. To access or assign a value in a 2D array, you use the syntax array[row][col]. When printing the array, the outer loop iterates over each row, and the inner loop prints each value in that row, creating a table-like output.

12345678910111213141516171819
#include <iostream> int main() { // Declare a 3x3 array and initialize all elements to 0 int arr[3][3] = {0}; // Set all elements in the first row to 1 for (int col = 0; col < 3; ++col) arr[0][col] = 1; // Print the array to check the result for (int row = 0; row < 3; ++row) { for (int col = 0; col < 3; ++col) std::cout << arr[row][col] << " "; std::cout << std::endl; } }

When working with multidimensional arrays, a common mistake is to mix up the order of row and column indices. In C++, the first index always refers to the row, and the second index refers to the column. Accidentally swapping these indices can lead to unexpected results or logic errors. Always double-check that you are using array[row][column] and not the other way around, especially when assigning or accessing values in loops.
