Multidimensional Arrays
An array can have more than one dimension. By allowing the array to have more than one dimension provides greater flexibility. For example, spreadsheets are built on a two dimensional array; an array for the rows, and an array for the columns.
The following example uses a two dimensional array with two rows, each containing five columns:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
/* Declare a 2 x 5 multidimensional array */
int x[2][5] = { {1, 2, 3, 4, 5},
{2, 4, 6, 8, 10} };
int row, column;
/* Display the rows */
for (row=0; row<2; row++)
{
/* Display the columns */
for (column=0; column<5; column++)
printf("%d\t", x[row][column]);
putchar('\n');
}
return 0;
}
