Multidimensional Arrays Name the collection Number the elements HW 0 HW 1 HW 2 HW 3 HW 4 student 0 10 7 8 9 5 student 1 5 6 8 3 9 row student 2 7 4 6 9 10 column Definition: An ordered collection of values of identical type Example: array score (2 dimensional) Scores for 3 students on 5 homeworks C expressions: score[2][0] is 7 2*score[1][3] is 6 142Q -1
Declaring a 2D array score is a 2 dimensional array of integers of size 80 by 6 score is an array of size 80 of type array of size 6 of integers type name [row_size][line_size]; e.g. #define MAX_STUDENTS 80 #define MAX_HWS 6 ... int score[MAX_STUDENTS][MAX_HWS]; or (think of score as a 1D array of 1D arrays) score[0][0], score[0][1], ..., score[79][5] are the elements of the array or score[0], score[1], ..., score[79] are the rows of the array and each row is itself an array 142 Q -2
Using 2D Arrays nstudents nhws j score 0 1 2 3 4 5 i 0 0 1 2 3 ? ? 1 4 5 6 7 ? ? 2 8 9 10 11 ? ? 3 ? ? ? ? ? ? Reading a 2D array scanf("%d%d",&nstudents,&nhws); if (nstudents <= MAX_STUDENTS && nhws <= MAX_HWS) { for(i=0; i<nstudents; i++) for(j=0; j<nhws; j++) scanf("%d",&score[i][j]); } Input 3 4 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 142 Q -3
2D Arrays as parameters can omit cannot omit formal parameter (need [ ] and dimensions) array element (just like a standard variable) actual parameter (no & or [ ]) void read2D (int a[MAX_STUDENTS][MAX_HWS], int nstudents, int hws) { int i,j; for(i=0; i<nstudents; i++) for(j=0; j<nhws; j++) scanf("%d",&a[i][j]); } int main(void) { int score[MAX_STUDENTS][MAX_HWS]; int nstudents, nhws; scanf("%d%d",&nstudents,&nhws); if (nstudents<=MAX_STUDENTS && nhws <= MAX_HWS) read2D(score,nstudents,nhws); .... } 142 Q -4
2D Arrays and Pointers Recall 1D Array Check the arithmetic on pointers array name is a pointer to the first element of the array a[i] same as *(a+i) For a 2D Array array name is a pointer to the first row a[i][j] is equivalent to *(*(a+i)+j) a + i : move by i rows from a[0][0] *a + j: move by j elements from a[0][0] 142 Q -5
3 rows and 3 columns int a[3][3]; a a+1 a+2 *a+1 1 3 5 4 2 9 8 0 7 row 1 row 2 row 3 test it on the computer in the memory What is **a ? 1 (same as a[0][0]) *(*a+1) ? 3 (same as a[0][1]) **(a+2) ? 8 (same as a[2][0]) 142 Q -6
