For a project of mine in C++, i need to create a 2d that displays something along these lines,while i need a little help getting started since i am fairly new to 2d arrays, thx for ur time. I am using MSVC++ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 3 3 3 2 1 1 2 3 5 3 2 1 1 2 3 3 3 2 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

for starters you can instantiate the array like this: int my_array[7][7]; and you can access each element or the array like this to set the array: my_array[0][0] = 1; //row 0 col 0 my_array[0][1] = 1; //row 0 col 1 my_array[0][2] = 1; //row 0 col 2 my_array[0][3] = 1; //row 0 col 3 my_array[0][4] = 1; //row 0 col 4 ... ... ... my_array[1][1] = 2; //row 1 col 1 my_array[2][2] = 3; //row 2 col 2 my_array[3][3] = 5; //row 3 col 3 it is fairly arbitrary which index you want to use for row and which to use for column as long as you are consistent. So you could assume that my_array[row][column] or my_array[column][row] I will use the first convention. Then to print you just write a nested for loop like this: //each time through this loop you print one row for(int row = 0; row < 7; row++) { //this loop prints each column of a row for(int col = 0;col < 7; col++) { cout << my_array[row][col]; } cout << endl; }
