C Programming Tutorial # 36 - Passing 2-Dimensional Arrays to Functions [HD]

In this tutorial we learn how to pass 2-dimensional arrays to functions and how to call such functions.

This tutorial is part of the following series:

[RamyaNarendran]

Can I just pass the argument as a pointer (implicit pointer) and receive it in a explicit pointer?

And increment the explicit pointer and add the values.

And return the result.

Thank you again for the clear explanation. Your tutorial videos are really helping me a lot to prepare for my mid-term exam. Thanks again, and regards ....

@ajayparmar904 in the previous tutorial he said that 2d in memory is actually in 1D since its simple a number of 0s and 1s. Every piece of the memory in accordance to the 2D array is subsequent by the rows of the 2D array. So in the memory the compiler will know that after 3bytes the next row begins. Am I right @Lernorama ?

Thanks. NIce quick tutorial solving an issue I had been stuck on for awhile.

hey dude !i am not sure that i am true or not but shouldn't it make kind a column with row in function definition ??

[predatorBr]

Took along time for me to find something like this thank very much idian dude!

[cesarsuarez]

thank you. very helpful. but how do you pass a specific row to the function?

[GeorgePapageorgakis]

what about 2 dimensions with mulloc? would be useful to have some examples! Thanks!

[Alexandrosth]

Thank you so much for all this its better than class!

[matthw]

very nice tutorial.. ive watched 5 of your vids already..

[MrMmmmms]

um i got a warning like this.. expected int[*][4] nut the argument is of type int[3][4]
and then segmentation fault while executing the program at the line sum+=a[row][column]
please help me..

[aries]

but what if you cant put 4 in the column size and you need to pass the size of any array

[shujaatmcse]

Great video... Simple & easy explaination

[tenaciousftb]

How do you find the max square (2 x 2) in a 2 d array with all random values?

[peggydavis]

I thought this was good I kept getting an error about sending to many arguments not realizing from the book that passing an array you do not have to pass the first sub just the second you cleared that up for me thank you

[ankitshukla]

Sir i want 2 watch your all tutorials related to c.. then plzz tell me how could i?

[anmar]

Thank you very much. It's very helpful

[mubasshirwangde]

if i want that myarray to be passed dynamically then what to do like i have myarray[n][n] and this n i want to pass in the method then wat to do ?

[aritra-]

the reason why it is int return type because it is returning sum here not because the array elements are integer in nature

[robgur]

Thank you sir! this is very very helpful!!
