Array in a Array

Dear all,

Does anybody know how to write an array that consist of other array.

example,

a[] = [1 2 3];

b[] = [3 2 6];

c[] = [4 2 5];

d[] = [4 5 8];

can i put these for array into an array say e[]

so e will have e=[ a b

c d];

e is a 2x2 arrays.

Is this possible how to write it in c or c++

Thanks in advance.

You'll have to have an array of pointers. When you declare a multi-dimensional array you're defining a contiguous block of memory, not an array of arrays. e.g.:

int a[] = {1, 2, 3};

int b[] = {4, 5};

int c[] = {6, 7, 8, 9};

int *aa[3] = {a, b, c};

int v = aa[0][2];

ASSERT(v == 3);

Of course, the second index is not bounds-checked by the compiler; you'll have to do that in code somehow.

thanks for replying me. can i put the array of pointers in anarray(matrix).

int *aa[2]2] = [ a b

c a];

then, i want to re-arrange them, like this

int *bb[2][2] = [ a c

b a];

is this possible to re-arrange the contiguous of memory

Thanks again.
