Multidimensional Arrays

Learn about multidimensional arrays that are very useful for solving programming problems.

We'll cover the following...

C provides support for multidimensional arrays. Here is how we can define a two-dimensional array of integers, initialize values, and index into it to read off values:

C
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
  int grades[2][2] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
  int i, j;
  for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
    for (j = 0; j < 2; j++) {
      printf("grades[%d][%d]=%d\n", i, j, grades[i][j]);
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

We can think of this array as a matrix or a table with two rows and two columns:

  • The first row contains the values 1 and 2 (in the cells
