declaring 2D array dynamically:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int x = 3, y = 3;
int **ptr = new int *[x];
for(int i = 0; i<y; i++)
{
ptr[i] = new int[y];
}
srand(time(0));
for(int j = 0; j<x; j++)
{
for(int k = 0; k<y; k++)
{
int a = rand()%10;
ptr[j][k] = a;
cout<<ptr[j][k]<<" ";
}
cout<<endl;
}
}
Now in the above code we took a double pointer and assigned it a dynamic memory and gave a value of the columns. Here the memory allocated is only for the columns, now for the rows we just need a for loop and assign the value for every row a dynamic memory. Now we can use the pointer just the way we use a 2D array. In the above example we then assigned random numbers to our 2D array(pointer).Its all about DMA of 2D array.
