How do you use pointers with two dimensional arrays in C++?

So I have this program that deals with one dimensional arrays. I want to expand it to two with array[row][col] how can I do this?





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


using namespace std;





int* getArray(int row);


void printArray(int* array, int row);





int main()


{


int row;


cout %26lt;%26lt;"Enter row length: ";


cin%26gt;%26gt;row;


int* array = getArray(row);


cout %26lt;%26lt; "array in main" %26lt;%26lt; endl;


printArray(array, row);


/*int* array2 = getArray();


cout %26lt;%26lt; "array2 in main" %26lt;%26lt; endl;


printArray(array2);


cout %26lt;%26lt; "array in main" %26lt;%26lt; endl;


printArray(array);


delete[] array2;*/


delete[] array;


return 0;


}





int* getArray(int row){


int *array = new int[row];


for ( int i = 0; i %26lt; row; i++ ){


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Enter an integer: ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; array[i];


}


cout %26lt;%26lt; "array in getArray()" %26lt;%26lt; endl;


printArray(array, row);


return array;


}





void printArray(int* array, int row)


{


for ( int i = 0; i %26lt; row; i++ ){


cout %26lt;%26lt; *(array+i) %26lt;%26lt; " ";


}


cout %26lt;%26lt; endl;


cout %26lt;%26lt; endl;


}

Hi. I would love to help you. But, answering the question will be as long as your question. I thought that instead of giving a long answer, i could redirect you to some place where you can find good references.

If you are still unable to find any useful information, and if there is anything specific that you would like to know, just drop in a mail to me. I shall try to help you.





Thanks! :)
Reply:u r goin right way baby
Reply:Generally speaking to access an array you use a for loop. This is for a 1 dimentional array. You want a two dimentional array.





So the way to do this is a nested for loop


ie.


for ( int i = 0; i %26lt; row; i++ ){


for ( int j = 0; j %26lt; col, j++ ){


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Enter an integer: ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; array[i][j];


}


}





That is all there is to it. You already understand the array concept. Now go ahead and extend what you know.





Good luck.
