Program Plan Intro

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 (

49. An application uses a two-dimensional array defined as follows: int days[29][5]; Write code that sums each row in the array and displays the results. Write code that sums each column in the array and displays the results.
Programming: Multi-Array Assignment Instructions   Overview Using a two-dimensional array, you will create the game battleship using a text file that contains the board.  The user will enter coordinates to try and find ships and sink them.     Instructions   Imagine you are using a two-dimensional array as the basis for creating the game battleship. In the game of battleship, a `~' character entry in the array represents ocean (i.e., not a ship), a `#' character represents a place in the ocean where part of a ship is present, and a `H' character represents a place in the ocean where part of a ship is present and has been hit by a torpedo. Thus, a ship with all `H' characters means the ship has been sunk.   Declare a two-dimensional array that is 25 x 25 that represents the entire ocean and an If statement that prints "HIT" if a torpedo hits a ship given the coordinates X and Y.   Create a text file of 25 line.  Each line has 25 characters.  ~ represents water and # represents part of…
