Explanation of Solution
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...

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.

- Assignment 5C: Level Map Creator. There are a variety of ways that game developers store their level layouts. One simple method is to associate level elements with certain symbols, and then storing them in a 2D grid inside a text file. We will use our knowledge of 2D arrays to create a very simple Level Map Creator tool. The program should prompt the user to enter a width and height for the level. Then it should initialize a 2D array and fill every element with the *" symbol. Afterwards, the user should be given the following options via a menu: 1. Clear Level 2. Add Platform Prompt the user to enter a starting point and length for the Re-initialize the 2D array and fill every element with the "** symbol. horizontal platform.
