Two-Dimensional Arrays 


The simplest form of the multidimensional array is the 
two-dimensional array. A two-dimensional array is, 
in essence, a list of one-dimensional arrays. 
To declare a two-dimensional integer array of 
size x,y, you would write something as follows: 

type arrayName [ x ][ y ]; 

Where type can be any valid C++ data type and 
arrayName will be a valid C++ identifier. 

A two-dimensional array can be think as a table, 
which will have x number of rows and y number of columns. 
A 2-dimensional array a, which contains three rows and 
four columns can be shown as below: 
 
Thus, every element in array a is identified by an element 
name of the form a[ i ][ j ], where a is the name of the 
array, and i and j are the subscripts that uniquely identify 
each element in a.
