We will learn about Two dimension Array in C programming language
In the C programming language, an array is a data structure which is of fixed size and sequential collection of an element of the same type of data. An array can be used to represent a list of the similar type of elements(eg – list of numbers, list of names).
It is one of the ways to group similar type of elements(data) with a single variable name.
Three type of arrays in C Programming language
Syntax
return_type Array_name[size][size];
Example
int marks[4][6]; char alphabet[3][4]; String name[5][6];
This is a Two dimension array named x with 5 rows and 5 column
int array= x[5][5];
Index is started in zero (0), there fore first index of array – x[0][0]; and last index of array – x[4][4];
Method 1
arr[0][0]=65; //initialize first elements by value 65
//we can assign the value to every index, like this
Method 2
int age[3][4]={
{23,54,65,76},
{34,65,78,98},
{65,56,43,86}
}; Method 3
int age[3][4]={34,65,78,98,76,54,32,13,15,26,3,38} more valid declarations
int array_name[2][3]={23,45,65,43,73,32}; //declaration 1 - mentioned above
int array_name[][3]={23,45,65,43,73,32}; //declaration 2
int array_name[2][]={23,45,65,43,73,32}; //declaration 3
int array_name[][]={23,45,65,43,73,32}; //declaration 4
Example for method 1
int marks [4][6]={
{50,71,47,63,58,54} //initialized row index 0
{54,86,37,40,72,51} //initialized row index 1
{96,83,58,52,48,34} //initialized row index 2
{84,69,65,48,63,86} //initialized row index 3
Program 1
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
int array[4][5]={ //Two dimension array
{353,684,653,897,356},

{974,267,836,163,682},
{734,486,263,543,765}
};//declaration & initialization
printf("Output here\n\n");
printf("%d,",array[0][0]);

printf("%d,",array[3][0]);
printf("%d,",array[3][1]);
printf("%d,",array[3][2]);
printf("%d,",array[3][3]);
printf("%d",array[3][4]);
