Study Notes
Multidimensional Arrays in C++
- A multidimensional array is an array of arrays.
- In C++, a two-dimensional array can hold a maximum of 12 elements, similar to a table with 3 rows and 4 columns.
- A three-dimensional array can hold a maximum of 24 elements, calculated by multiplying its dimensions (2 x 4 x 3).
Multidimensional Array Initialization
- There are multiple ways to initialize a multidimensional array.
- A two-dimensional array can be initialized as
int test = {{2, 4, 5}, {9, 0, 19}}; - A three-dimensional array can be initialized as
int test = {{{3, 4, 2, 3}, {0, -3, 9, 11}, {23, 12, 23, 2}}, {{13, 4, 56, 3}, {5, 9, 3, 5}, {5, 1, 4, 9}}};
Array Dimensions
- The first dimension of a three-dimensional array has a value of 2, with two elements comprising the first dimension.
- The second dimension has a value of 3, with each element of the first dimension consisting of three elements.
- The third dimension has a value of 4, with four integers inside each of the elements of the second dimension.
Accessing Multidimensional Arrays
- Multidimensional arrays can be accessed using nested for loops.
- The outer loop accesses the rows of the array, while the inner loop accesses the columns of the array.
- Example:
for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {for (int j = 0; j < 2; ++j) {cout << test[i][j] << " ";}}
