All rights reserved Initializing Arrays with Random Values The following loop initializes the array with random values between 0 and 99: for (int row = 0; row < rowSize; row++) { for (int column = 0; column < columnSize; column++) { matrix[row][column] = rand() % 100; }

All rights reserved Printing Arrays To print a two-dimensional array, you have to print each element in the array using a loop like the following: for (int row = 0; row < rowSize; row++) { for (int column = 0; column < columnSize; column++) { cout << matrix[row][column] << " "; } cout << endl; }

Liang, Introduction to Programming with C++, Second Edition, (c) 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved Summing Elements by Column For each column, use a variable named total to store its sum. Add each element in the column to total using a loop like this: for (int column = 0; column < columnSize; column++) { int total = 0; for (int row = 0; row < rowSize; row++) total += matrix[row][column]; cout << "Sum for column " << column << " is " << total << endl; }

Use variables maxRow and indexOfMaxRow to track the largest sum and index of the row. For each row, compute its sum and update maxRow and indexOfMaxRow if the new sum is greater.

All rights reserved Multidimensional Arrays In the preceding section, you used a two-dimensional array to represent a matrix or a table. Occasionally, you will need to represent n-dimensional data structures. In C++, you can create n-dimensional arrays for any integer n. The way to declare two-dimensional array can be generalized to declare n-dimensional array for n >= 3. For example, the following syntax declares a three- dimensional array scores. double scores[10][5][2];
