🚀 C++ Programming — Part 16: Multi-Dimensional Arrays 🔢
So far, we’ve used one-dimensional arrays (lists).
Now, let’s level up with multi-dimensional arrays — like tables or grids 💡
---
🔹 What Are They?
A 2D array is basically an array of arrays.
Think of it as rows and columns 👇
int matrix[2][3] = {
{1, 2, 3},
{4, 5, 6}
};
This creates 2 rows × 3 columns = 6 elements.
---
🔹 Accessing Elements:
cout << matrix[0][2]; // 3
cout << matrix[1][1]; // 5
The first index = row, the second = column.
---
🔹 Looping Through a 2D Array:
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
cout << matrix[i][j] << " ";
}
cout << endl;
}
✅ Output:
1 2 3
4 5 6

🔹 Why Use Them?
2D arrays are perfect for grids, game maps, matrices, or seating charts 🎮

🔹 Coming next (Part 17):
We’ll explore vectors — dynamic arrays that grow and shrink automatically 🚀
