Concept explainers
Two-dimensional array:
A two dimensional array is also called as a multi-dimensional array; a multidimensional array is that all the identical arrays are put together into a single array.
- This is useful for storing same type of multiple sets of data in same place.
- The main advantage is that one-dimensional array can hold only one set of value, whereas, two-dimensional array can hold multiple sets of data in the form of rows and columns.
- The structure of a multi-dimensional array is lookalike a table (that is combination of rows and columns); it contains same type of columns.
- The first size declarator in the two-dimensional array represents row and the second size declarator represents column.
- The two dimensional array can have multiple length fields, which holds the number of rows.
- Each row in the two dimensional array has a length field which holds the number of columns.
Syntax:
The syntax of two dimensional arrays is as follows:
datatype array_name [number_of_rows][number_of_columns];
From the given syntax, a two-dimensional array named “grades” of type “int” has been created with 30 rows and 10 columns.
Explanation of Solution
b. Code to sum all the elements in a column of 2D array and store it in a variable:
//Class definition
public class Sample {
// define main function
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Creation of 2D array with size declarator
int[][] days = new int[29][5];
// Declaration of accumulator variable
int total;
// Loop to read through the values in the column
for (int col = 0; col < 5; col++) {
// Initialize the accumulator variable
total = 0;
// Loop to read through each row
for (

- (Data processing) Write a program that uses an array declaration statement to initialize the following numbers in an array named slopes: 17.24, 25.63, 5.94, 33.92, 3.71, 32.84, 35.93, 18.24, and 6.92. Your program should locate and display the maximum and minimum values in the array.arrow_forward(Electrical eng.) Write a program that declares three one-dimensional arrays named volts, current, and resistance. Each array should be declared in main() and be capable of holding 10 double-precision numbers. The numbers to store in current are 10.62, 14.89, 13.21, 16.55, 18.62, 9.47, 6.58, 18.32, 12.15, and 3.98. The numbers to store in resistance are 4, 8.5, 6, 7.35, 9, 15.3, 3, 5.4, 2.9, and 4.8. Your program should pass these three arrays to a function named calc_volts(), which should calculate elements in the volts array as the product of the corresponding elements in the current and resistance arrays (for example ,volts[1]=current[1]resistance[1]). After calc_volts() has passed values to the volts array, the values in the array should be displayed from inside main().arrow_forwardWrite a statement that declares a procedure-level one-dimensional array named intorders. The array should contain 15 elements.arrow_forward
