Definition of two-dimensional array:
data_type array_name[row_size][column_size];
This:
works. Why? This should mean a size 2 row and a size 3 column, shouldn't it?Code:int table[2][3] = { {0,0,0},{1,1,1} };
Doing this:
or this:Code:int table[2][2] = { {0,0,0},{1,1,1} };
does not work. What's the obvious answer here? Why is a size of 3 for rows written as 2 in the 2-dimensional array?Code:int table[2] = {0,0,0};
Arrays start their index at 0, so for an array of three elements in would be: int table[2]; with the individual elements table[0], table[1], and table[2].
Take a look at the tutorial

Well, your subsets are your rows. So in your first example you have two rows, three columns each. Each subset is a row.
In your second example you are providing two rows of three elements in a 2D array that has 2 columns only.
In your last example you have a 1D array of 2 elements and you are initializing it to contain 3.

1. Get rid of gets(). Never ever ever use it again. Replace it with fgets() and use that instead.
2. Get rid of void main and replace it with int main(void) and return 0 at the end of the function.
3. Get rid of conio.h and other antiquated DOS crap headers.
4. Don't cast the return value of malloc, even if you always always always make sure that stdlib.h is included.
Wrong. When you allocate memory you get as many as you ask for. So int table[2] is actually an array containing 2 elements [0] and [1].Originally Posted by AndrewHunter

Oh right, sorry I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks claudiu.
I know that indexes start at zero, of course.
Ah, dagn - I get it.
000 is row one, 111 is row two, of course.Code:int table[2][3] = { {0,0,0},{1,1,1} };
Thanks :-)
