Study Notes
Multidimensional Arrays in C
- Multidimensional arrays in C language can be considered a complimentary extension to one-dimensional arrays.
- A multidimensional array declaration in C consists of the type of its elements, name of the array, and the array size enclosed in square brackets.
- The number of square bracket pairs in a multidimensional array declaration is equal to the number of dimensions in the array.
- Multidimensional arrays can be declared and initialized with values at once.
- Arrays can be created both as local or global variables.
- A constant variable can be defined using the
#definedirective, e.g.,#define N 10.
Declaring Multidimensional Arrays
- A two-dimensional array with 9 elements (3x3) of type char can be declared as
char myTab[3][3];. - A two-dimensional array with N×N elements of real numbers can be declared as
double myFractions[N][N];. - A three-dimensional array can be declared as
long myCube[3][3][3];. - A multidimensional array can be initialized with values at once, e.g.,
int myMatrix[] = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}};.
Accessing Multidimensional Arrays
- To access an element in a multidimensional array, the index value for every dimension needs to be provided.
- In C language, the index values are denoted in subsequent pairs of square brackets, each for one dimension.
- For example, to access an element in a two-dimensional array, you would use
array_name[index1][index2].
