2- Dimensional Arrays

TWO-DIMENSIONAL ARRAYS
C++ also allows an array to have more than one dimension.
For example, a two-dimensional array consists of a certain number of rows
and columns:
const int NUMROWS = 3;
const int NUMCOLS = 7;
int Array[NUMROWS][NUMCOLS];
0 1 2 3 4 5 6
0 4 18 9 3 -4 6 0
1 12 45 74 15 0 98 0
2 84 87 75 67 81 85 79
Array[2][5] 3rd value in 6th column
Array[0][4] 1st value in 5th column
The declaration must specify the number of rows and the number of columns,
and both must be constants.

PROCESSING A 2-D ARRAY
A one-dimensional array is usually processed via a for loop. Similarly, a two-dimensional
array may be processed with a nested for loop:
for (int Row = 0; Row < NUMROWS; Row++) {
for (int Col = 0; Col < NUMCOLS; Col++) {
Array[Row][Col] = 0;
}
}
Each pass through the inner for loop will initialize all the elements of the current
row to 0.
The outer for loop drives the inner loop to process each of the array's rows.

INITIALIZING IN DECLARATIONS
int Array1[2][3] = { {1, 2, 3} , {4, 5, 6} };
int Array2[2][3] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
int Array3[2][3] = { {1, 2} , {4 } };
If we printed these arrays by rows, we would find the following initializations
had taken place:
Rows of Array1:
1 2 3
4 5 6
Rows of Array2:
1 2 3
4 5 0
Rows of Array3:
1 2 0
4 0 0
for (int row = 0; row < 2; row++) {
for (int col = 0; col < 3; col++) {
cout << setw(3)
<< Array1[row][col];
}
cout << endl;
}

EXAMPLE: INPUT USING CIN
 Nested for loops are often used when
inputting and assigning values to a two-dimensional array.
 Nested loops are generally useful for getting around the 2D
arrays…
for (int i=0; i<RSIZE; ++i) //every row
for (int j=0; j<CSIZE; ++j )//every col
cin >> table[i][j];

2-D ARRAYS AS PARAMETERS
When passing a two-dimensional array as a parameter, the base address is
passed, as is the case with one-dimensional arrays.
But now the number of columns in the array parameter must be specified.
This is because arrays are stored in row-major order, and the number of
columns must be known in order to calculate the location at which each row
begins in memory:
address of element (r, c) = base address of array
+ r*(number of elements in a row)*(size of an
element)
+ c*(size of an element)
void Initialize(int TwoD[][NUMCOLS], const int NUMROWS) {
for (int i = 0; i < NUMROWS; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < NUMCOLS; j++)
TwoD[i][j] = -1;
}
}

FUNCTION TO DISPLAY CONTENT OF A TWO
DIMENSIONAL ARRAY A
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
void print(int A[][3],int N, int M)
{
for (int R = 0; R < N; R++){
cout <<endl;
for (int C = 0; C < M; C++)
cout << setw(10) <<A[R][C];
}
}

FUNCTION TO FIND THE SUM OF TWO DIMENSIONAL
ARRAYS A AND B
void addition(int A[][3], int B[][3],int N, int M)
{
for(int R=0;R<N;R++){
cout<<endl;
for(int C=0;C<M;C++)
cout<<setw(10) <<A[R][C]+B[R][C];
}
}

FUNCTION TO FIND & DISPLAY SUM OF ROWS & SUM
OF COLS. OF A 2D ARRAY A
void SumRowCol(int A[][20], int N, int M)
{
for(int R=0;R<N;R++)
{
int SumR=0;
for(int C=0;C<M;C++)
SumR+=A[R][C];
cout<<"Row("<<R<<")="<<SumR<<endl;
}
}
for(int R=0;R<M;R++)
{
int SumC=0;
for(int C=0;C<N;C++)
SumC+=A[C][R];
cout<<"Column("<<R<<")="<<SumC<<endl;
}
}
