1-Dimensional Arrays From Higher we learned about 1 Dimensional arrays. An example is shown below: 15 15 16 19 23 28 30 31 28 24 20 17 Average monthly temperatures VB Declaration Dim Month(11) as Integer The array has 12 data items in positions 0 .. 11 of the array Alford Academy Business Education and Computing

Jan Feb Mar Average monthly temperatures for Jan, Feb and March VB Declaration Dim Rainfall(2,11) as Integer The array has 3 rows (0.. 2) and 12 columns (0.. 11) Alford Academy Business Education and Computing

2-Dimensional Arrays – Initialising Suppose we have a small array eg an array called List that is 2x3 in its dimensions ie 2 rows and 3 columns This array is small enough to initialise its values to zero as follows:- VB Declaration Dim List(1,2) as Integer VB Declaration Dim List(1 to 2,1 to 3) as Integer List(0,0) = 0 List(0,1) = 0 List(0,2) = 0 List(1,0) = 0 List(1,1) = 0 List(1,2) = 0 List(1,1) = 0 List(1,2) = 0 List(1,3) = 0 List(2,1) = 0 List(2,2) = 0 List(2,3) = 0 More natural way of thinking about it!

2-Dimensional Arrays – Initialising Large Arrays Suppose we have a large array eg an array called List that is 20x30 in its dimensions ie 20 rows and 30 columns We would use a loop structure to initialise its values as follows:- VB Declaration Dim List(1 to 20,1 to 30) as Integer Dim row, col as Integer For row = 1 to 20 For col = 1 to 30 List(row,col) = 0 next col next row Alford Academy Business Education and Computing
2-Dimensional Arrays – Reading in the Prime Numbers Suppose we want to initialise the Prime 2-D array on Slide 4 with its values. We would use a loop structure to prompt the user for the values as follows:- VB Declaration Dim Prime(1 to 3,1 to 4) as Integer Dim row, col as Integer For row = 1 to 3 For col = 1 to 4 Prime(row,col) = Inputbox(“Please enter a prime number”) next col next row Alford Academy Business Education and Computing
2-Dimensional Arrays – Reading in and displaying the Prime Numbers Enter and test the following code to initialise a 2-D array with prime numbers and display these on screen Dim Prime(1 to 3,1 to 4) as Integer Dim row, col as Integer For row = 1 to 3 For col = 1 to 4 Prime(row,col) = Inputbox(“Please enter a prime number”) next col next row For row = 1 to 3 For col = 1 to 4 Print Tab(col * 5); Prime(row, col); next col print print next row Alford Academy Business Education and Computing
