Thread: Getting Indexes

Hello!

I have 2 columns with strings. I have to make a matrix for the strings entries.
I wished to know how can i store the indexes of the string?

Eg:
#index# coulumn 1 # column 2 # value

1 ABC XYZ 2
2 abc xyz 3
3 PQR EFG 1
4 pqr efg 2


the matrix shd look like

1 2 3 4
1
2
3
4

can u please help with some pseudocode...I have no clue here!

I don't understand why you want to store the string's indeces - that's a built in feature of the matrix itself. In C, they begin at 0, btw.

A 2D matrix should be OK for storing rows of strings:

Code:

char matrix[20][36]= {
{"Apple 1"},
{"Baywood 4"},
{"Cherry 3"},
{"Cedar 2"}
};

would give you 20 rows of storage, with each row having 35 columns for char's, at most. One element of the matrix would need to store the end-of-string marker: '\0'.

You haven't given nearly enough information for pseudocode for a program, to be created. This is something you really need to work on - if you have no clue, talk to another classmate or your teacher and get some.

Even the great Sherlock Holmes had to get some clues, after all.

hello!
Thanks...but i know how to create and store 2 D matrix but I have 2000 or more entries.
Its not easy to make matrix according to the names of the columns do I wanted to make it by indexes.
