Q

2D Arrays

How can you store arrays in arrays?

A

The additional set of brackets note that arrays will be stored in this array

int[][] gradeBook = {exam1, exam2…};

int[][] gradeBook = new int[2][5];

gradeBook[0] = exam1;

gradeBook[1] = exam2;

  • 2: number of arrays in the array
  • 5: number of values in each array

2D Arrays

What are 2D Arrays?

A

Arrays that store arrays

int[][] gradeBook = {{90, 87, 30},

{49, 99, 22},

{90, 90, 23}};

When accessing elements in a 2D array, we are accessing the row and then column:

gradebook[row][column];

  • Row - find array
  • Column - find value in array

8.2 Traversing 2D Arrays

What are the two methods to traverse a 2D array?

A

“Row-Major Order” = Traversing an array across each row

“Column-Major Order” = Traversing an array down each row

Choice depends on the task

A

for(int[] row: gradeBook)

{

for(int col: row)

{

System.out.printl(col);

}

}

Q

8.2 Traversing 2D Arrays

How do you use Linear Search in 2D arrays?

A

When applying Linear Search on 2D Arrays, each row must be accessed, then Linear Search can be applied to each row:

public String search(int[][], array2D, int key)

{

for(int rowIndex = 0; rowIndex < array2D.length; rowIndex++)

{

for(int colIndex = 0; colIndex < array2D[rowIndex].length; colIndex++)

{

if(array2D[rowIndex][colIndex] == key)

{

return key + “ is located at: “ + rowIndex + “,” + colIndex;

}

}

}

return key + “is not in this 2D array”;

}

int[][] scores = {{2,3,4,5,6},{7,6,5,4,3}}

//Initialize value here: for(int[] row: scores)

{

for(int i = 0; i < row.lenght; i++)

//Preform calculation here

Q

8.2 Traversing 2D Arrays

How do you use common 2D array algorithms for:

  • Determine if all elements have a particular property
  • Determine the number of elements meeting specific criteria
A

int[][] scores = {{2,3,4,5,6},{7,6,5,4,3}}

//Initialize tracher variable

for(int[] row: scores)

{

for(int i = 0; i < row.length; i++)

{

//Conditionally check properties

}

}

//Report results

Q

8.2 Traversing 2D Arrays

  • Reverse the order of the elements
A

int[][] alteredScores;

for(int[] row : scores)

{

for(int i = 0; i < row.length; i++)

//add values from grade to alteredArray

}

//Report results

Q

8.2 Traversing 2D Arrays

A 2D double array is declared and initialized to track the terrain of a city park. Each value in the 2D array represents the height of a particular latitude and longitude above sea level. Longitude is represented by the columns in the 2D array and latitude is represented by each row in the 2D array.

The creator of this 2D array would like to look at the height of the city park along the longitude 100.0 - which traversal method would make the most sense in order to do so?

  1. Row-Major Order
  2. Enhanced for loop
  3. Column-Major Order
  4. This isn’t possible given the 2D array.
A
  1. Column-Major Order

Q

8.2 Traversing 2D Arrays

A 2D double array terrainMap is declared and initialized to track the terrain of a city park. Each value in the 2D array represents the height of a particular latitude and longitude above sea level. Longitude is represented by the columns in the 2D array and latitude is represented by each row in the 2D array.

Which of the following would be a correct way to write the traversal for this 2D array?

(1)

for(double[] row: terrainMap)

{

for(double[] num: row)

{

System.out.print(num + “ “);

}

System.out.println();

}

(2)

for(double[] row: terrainMap)

How do you replace the value 13.21 with 8.8?

  2. something[2][4] = 8.8;
  3. something[13.21] = 8.8;

Question: 9

double[][] something =

{ {2.5, 6.8, 8.3, 2.3, 0.0},

{6.1, 10.2, 1.3, -2.5, -9.9},

{1.1, 2.3, 5.8, 13.21, 34.55} };

We want to replace the row {6.1, 10.2, 1.3, -2.5, -9.9} with a complete new array that looks like {3.1, 4.1, 5.9, 2.6, 8.4}.

  1. double[] temp = {3.1, 4.1, 5.9, 2.6, 8.4};
    something[2] = temp;
  2. something[1] = {3.1, 4.1, 5.9, 2.6, 8.4};
  3. something[2] = new {3.1, 4.1, 5.9, 2.6, 8.4};
  4. double[] temp = {3.1, 4.1, 5.9, 2.6, 8.4};
    something[1] = temp;
  5. something[1][0] = 3.1;
    something[1][1] = 4.1;
    something[1][2] = 5.9;
    something[1][3] = 2.6;
    something[1][4] = 8.4;
A

4. double[] temp = {3.1, 4.1, 5.9, 2.6, 8.4};
something[1] = temp;

Not 5: This will produce the correct results but is not replacing the row with a new array, it just replaces the values.

Question: 16

Consider the following method, sumTo10, that traverses a 2D array checking to see if the sum of all integers in each array are equal to 10. The method will return true if all arrays within the 2D array sum to 10, and false otherwise.

For example, the 2D array {{2,8}, {4, 6}} would return true because the content of each array sums to 10. The method, however, doesn’t always work as intended. Which of the following 2D array input values does sumTo10 not work for?

  1. {{5, 5}, {3,7}}
  2. {{5, 2, 3}, {3, 1, 6}, {1, 1, 8}}
  3. {{-100, 0, 110}, {3, 2, 5}, {2, 1, 7}}
  4. {{9, 1, 0}, {4, 1, 5}}
