Two dimension Array in Cpp language

In this tutorial, we will learn about Two dimension Array in Cpp language

Array

In the Cpp programming language, an array is a special data structure of a fixed sequenced collection of the element which contains the same data types. An array can be used to represent a list of number(int, float, double etc..) or name (String) or other data type of similar elements.

We can group element of the similar data type in the single variable name

Three types of arrays are in the c++ programming language

One dimensional array
Two-dimensional array
Three-dimensional array

Two-dimensional array

A two-dimensional array is an array within the array. We can simply identify using the table format.

Here, x is a two-dimensional array which contains 5 Rows and 5 Coloum and holds 25 places for the same type of values

int x[5][5];

Here, x is a two-dimensional array, it can hold a maximum 25 elements as int type

Two dimension Array in Cpp language — Two D Array

Declaration of two dimension array

Syntax

return_type Array_name[size][size];

Example

int marks[4][5];//it is a two dimensional array, it can hold 20 int type elements

char alphabet[5][4]; //it is a two dimensional array, it can hold 20 char type elements

Initializing of two dimension array

arr[1][2]=34;   //insert value 34 to array index arr[1][2]; 
arr[2][3]=63;  //insert value 34 to array index arr[2][3];

int marks[2][3]={45,67,46,87,32,35}  //method 2

int marks[2][3]={{67,43,78}{90,65,67}}  //method 3

int marks[][3]={{67,43,78}{90,65,67}} //method 4

The easy way to find the index of every elements Two dimension array

Collection of one-dimensional array create of the two-dimensional array

Find index of 2 D array using above diagram

Indices

x[0][0];

x[0][1]

x[0][2]

x[0][3]

x[0][4]

x[0][5]

We can find all index using this way

Example

program 1

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int age[2][3];
    age[0][0]=12;
     age[0][1]=13;
      age[0][2]=14;
       age[1][0]=15;
        age[1][1]=16;
         age[1][2]=17;
    cout << "age[0][0] :" <<age[0][0]<< endl;
    cout << "age[0][1] :" <<age[0][1]<< endl;
    cout << "age[0][2] :" <<age[0][2]<< endl;
    cout << "age[1][0] :" <<age[1][0]<< endl;
    cout << "age[1][1] :" <<age[1][1]<< endl;
    cout << "age[1][2] :" <<age[1][2]<< endl;
    getch();
    return 0;
}

When the above code is executed, it produces the following results:

age[0][0]=12;
age[0][1]=13;
age[0][2]=14;
age[1][0]=15;
age[1][1]=16;
age[1][2]=17;

Program 2

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int marks[2][5]={{16,65,36,87,54},{64,89,38,65,43}};
    // array declaration and initialization in same line
    cout<<"Array elements here"<<endl;
    cout<<marks[0][0]<<endl;
    cout<<marks[0][1]<<endl;
    cout<<marks[0][2]<<endl;
    cout<<marks[0][3]<<endl;
    cout<<marks[0][4]<<endl;
    cout<<marks[1][0]<<endl;
    cout<<marks[1][1]<<endl;
    cout<<marks[1][2]<<endl;
    cout<<marks[1][3]<<endl;
    cout<<marks[1][4]<<endl;
    //print every element stored in array
    cout << "End the program" << endl;
    getch();
    return 0;
}

When the above code is executed, it produces the following results:

Array elements here

16
65
36
87
54
64
89
38
65
43

End the program

Access elements using nested for loop

Display of elements of the array from the two-dimensional array using nested for loop in C++

Input element using for loop to two D array

for(int i=0; i<=max; i++){
for(int j=0; j<=max; j++){
cin>>array_name[i][j];
}
}

Display element using for loop to two D array

for(int i=0; i<=max; i++){
for(int j=0; j<=max; j++){
cout<<array_name[i][j];
}
}

Program 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int marks[3][4]=
    {
        {45,76,87,90},
        {43,73,28,85},
        {38,76,49,87}
    }; //declaration and initialization
    int i,j;
    for (i=0; i<3; i++){
        for (j=0; j<4; j++){
        printf("marks[%d][%d] :%d\n",i,j,marks[i][j]);
    }//display array elements using for loop
    }
    printf("end of program\n");
    getch();
    return 0;
}

When the above code is executed, it produces the following results:

marks[0][0] :45
marks[0][1] :76
marks[0][2] :87
marks[0][3] :90
marks[1][0] :43
marks[1][1] :73
marks[1][2] :28
