Multi-dimensional Arrays
Explore the fundamentals of multi-dimensional arrays in C++ including declaration, initialization, accessing elements, and iterating through data. Understand how to structure and manipulate complex data like matrices using nested loops and indexing. Gain the skills to work with arrays of multiple dimensions for practical C++ programming applications.
Introduction
In C++, a multi-dimensional array is an array consisting of arrays. It allows us to create a data structure that can represent more complex data than a simple, one-dimensional array. The most common type of multi-dimensional array is the two-dimensional array, which can be visualized as a grid or table of rows and columns.
Here’s the representation of a 5x5 two-dimensional array. This means that This is a two-dimensional array consisting of 5 rows and 5 columns.
Let’s look at some of the key points of multi-dimensional arrays:
Like matrices in mathematics, multi-dimensional arrays allow us to organize and manipulate data in a structured form. Also, we can create as many dimensions as we want.
Just like arrays, all elements in multi-dimensional arrays are stored in contiguous memory locations, which can make accessing elements faster and easier. ...
