{{task|Basic language learning}} {{data structure}} Get two integers from the user, then create a two-dimensional array where the two dimensions have the sizes given by those numbers, and which can be accessed in the most natural way possible. Write some element of that array, and then output that element. Finally destroy the array if not done by the language itself.

APL

Arrays are an integral part of APL. Array size, shape, and data type can be easily manipulated at runtime.

array←m n ⍴ 0 ⍝ array of zeros with shape of m by n.

array[1;1]←73 ⍝ assign a value to location 1;1.

array[1;1] ⍝ read the value back out

⎕ex 'array' ⍝ erase the array

AppleScript

AppleScript has no array, but an AppleScript list can be used in a multidimensional fashion. There's no issue with their dimensions, they grow while adding elements. Memory allocation is dynamic.

set R to text returned of (display dialog "Enter number of rows:" default answer 2) as integer
set c to text returned of (display dialog "Enter number of columns:" default answer 2) as integer
set array to {}
repeat with i from 1 to R
	set temp to {}
	repeat with j from 1 to c
		set temp's end to 0
	end repeat
	set array's end to temp
end repeat

-- Address the first column of the first row:
set array's item 1's item 1 to -10

-- Negative index values can be used to address from the end:
set array's item -1's item -1 to 10

-- Access an item (row 2 column 1):
set x to array's item 2's item 1

return array

-- Destroy array (typically unnecessary since it'll automatically be destroyed once script ends).
set array to {}

AWK

AWK has no multidimensional array; but AWK arrays (which are [[Associative array]] indeed) can be used also in a multidimensional fashion. Since AWK arrays are associative arrays, there's no issue in their dimensions: they grow while adding new key-value pair.

## Liberty BASIC
=
Arrays can hold numbers ( eg age( 100)( or strings ( eg name$( 100))
LB arrays can only be one or two dimensioned.
If an array is not DIMensioned explicitly, then the array will be limited to 11 elements, 0 to 10.
Non DIMensioned double subscript arrays will be limited to 100 elements 0 to 9 by 0 to 9.
The DIM statement can be followed by a list of arrays to be dimensioned, separated by commas.
REDIM redimensions an already dimensioned array and clears all elements to zero (or to an empty string in the case of string arrays).
This can be very useful for writing applications that have data sets of unknown size.
If you dimension arrays that are extra large to make sure you can hold data, but only have a small set of data, then all the space you reserved is wasted.
This hurts performance, because memory is set aside for the number of elements in the DIM statement.

```lb

input "Enter first  array dimension "; a
input "Enter second array dimension "; b

array( 1, 1) = 123.456

#endif

This style is supported by all 'C' compilers.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   int user1 = 0, user2 = 0;
   int *a1, **array, row;

   printf("Enter two integers.  Space delimited, please:  ");
   scanf("%d %d",&user1, &user2);

   a1 = malloc(user1*user2*sizeof(int));
   array = malloc(user1*sizeof(int*));
   for (row=0; row<user1; row++) array[row]=a1+row*user2;

   array[user1/2][user2/2] = user1 + user2;
   printf("array[%d][%d] is %d\n",user1/2,user2/2,array[user1/2][user2/2]);
   free(array);
   free(a1);
   return 0;
}

This style also supports more efficient memory utilization if you're only using a portion of the array. If you only need the upper right half of a square array, you can do something like the following.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   int user1 = 0;
   int space_needed;
   int *a1, **array;
   int row, col, offset;

   printf("Enter size of array:  ");
   scanf("%d",&user1);

   space_needed = (user1+1)*user1/2;
   a1 = malloc(space_needed * sizeof(*a1));
   array = malloc(user1 * sizeof(*array));
   for (row=0,offset=0; row<user1; offset+=(user1-row), row++) {
      array[row]=a1+offset-row;
      for (col=row; col<user1; col++)
          array[row][col] = 1+col-row;
   }
   for (row=0; row<user1; row++)
      printf("%d ", array[row][user1-1]);
   printf("\n");

   free(array);
   free(a1);
   return 0;
}

This approach most closely matches the C99 example, as '''alloca''' allocates on the [[stack]], rather than the [[heap]], as '''malloc''' does.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <alloca.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   int user1 = 0, user2 = 0;
   int *a1, **array, row;

   printf("Enter two integers.  Space delimited, please:  ");
   scanf("%d %d",&user1, &user2);

   a1 = alloca(user1*user2*sizeof(int));
   array = alloca(user1*sizeof(int*));
   for (row=0; row<user1; row++) array[row]=a1+row*user2;

   array[user1/2][user2/2] = user1 + user2;
   printf("array[%d][%d] is %d\n",user1/2,user2/2,array[user1/2][user2/2]);
   return 0;
}

Go

Arrays in Go are only one dimensional. Code below show the obvious way of composing a 2d array as an array of arrays that can be indexed as a[r][c].

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    var row, col int
    fmt.Print("enter rows cols: ")
    fmt.Scan(&row, &col)

    // allocate composed 2d array
    a := make([][]int, row)
    for i := range a {
        a[i] = make([]int, col)
    }

    // array elements initialized to 0
    fmt.Println("a[0][0] =", a[0][0])

    // assign
    a[row-1][col-1] = 7

    // retrieve
    fmt.Printf("a[%d][%d] = %d\n", row-1, col-1, a[row-1][col-1])

    // remove only reference
    a = nil
    // memory allocated earlier with make can now be garbage collected.
}

The technique above alocates each row separately. This might be good if you need extremely large arrays that cannot be allocated in a single piece. It might be bad though, for locality, as there would be no guarantee that the separate allocations would be localized in memory. A technique that maintains locality is this,

    // allocate composed 2d array
    a := make([][]int, row)
    e := make([]int, row * col)
    for i := range a {
        a[i] = e[i*col:(i+1)*col]
    }

Now all rows are allocated with a single allocation. Alternatively, slice e can be used directly without going through slice a. Element r c can be accessed simply as e[r*cols+c] for example, or accessor functions can be defined such as,


func get(r, c int) int {
    return e[r*cols+c]
}

Groovy

Solution:

def make2d = { nrows, ncols ->
    (0..<nrows).collect { [0]*ncols }
}

Test:

def r = new Random()

System.in.splitEachLine(/,\s*/) { dim ->
    def nrows = dim[0] as int
    def ncols = dim[1] as int

    def a2d = make2d(nrows, ncols)

    def row = r.nextInt(nrows)
    def col = r.nextInt(ncols)
    def val = r.nextInt(nrows*ncols)

    a2d[row][col] = val

    println "a2d[${row}][${col}] == ${a2d[row][col]}"

    a2d.each { println it }
    println()
}

Input:

  3,   5
4, 4

Output:

a2d[0][3] == 8
[0, 0, 0, 8, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

a2d[2][2] == 5
[0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 5, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0]

The following is only for demonstration. No real program should just assume that the user input is valid, integer, large enough etc.

d = fltarr(x,y)

d[3,4] = 5.6
print,d[3,4]

J

The natural ways of creating a two dimensional array, from array dimensions, in J are i. and $

   array1=:i. 3 4   NB. a 3 by 4 array with arbitrary values
   array2=: 5 6 $ 2 NB. a 5 by 6 array where every value is the number 2

To update the upper left corner of the array with the value 99, you might use }

   array1=: 99 (<0 0)} array1

And, to retrieve that value you might use {

   (<0 0) { array1

Finally, J manages storage for you, so to delete the array, you could either have the name refer to a new value



or you could remove the name itself:


```j
   erase'array1'

Putting these ideas together and adding a few frills:

task=: verb define
  assert. y -: 0 0 + , y       NB. error except when 2 dimensions are specified
  INIT=. 0                     NB. array will be populated with this value
  NEW=. 1                      NB. we will later update one location with this value
  ARRAY=. y $ INIT             NB. here, we create our 2-dimensional array
  INDEX=. < ? $ ARRAY          NB. pick an arbitrary location within our array
  ARRAY=. NEW INDEX} ARRAY     NB. use our new value at that location
  INDEX { ARRAY                NB. and return the value from that location
)

Passing two integers to task (as a list) satisfies the specifications for a two-dimensional array, but providing a longer list of integers accomplishes the same task on an array of as many dimensions as the count of integers given.

Example use (result should always be 1 which is the value of NEW):

   task 99 99
1

The type of the array is determined by the type of the values used in filling the array. E.g., alternate data types are obtained by substituting any of the following lines:

'init new' =. ' ';'x'           NB. literals
'init new' =. 1r2;2r3           NB. fractions
'init new' =. a: ; <<'Rosetta'  NB. boxes

        int nbr2 = in.nextInt();

        double[][] array = new double[nbr1][nbr2];
        array[0][0] = 42.0;
        System.out.println("The number at place [0 0] is " + array[0][0]);
  }
}

JavaScript

var width = Number(prompt("Enter width: "));
var height = Number(prompt("Enter height: "));

//make 2D array
var arr = new Array(height);

for (var i = 0; i < h; i++) {
  arr[i] = new Array(width);
}

//set value of element
a[0][0] = 'foo';
//print value of element
console.log('arr[0][0] = ' + arr[0][0]);

//cleanup array
arr = void(0);

jq

jq data types are exactly those of JSON, so there are various alternatives for representing matrices.

One way to represent an m by n matrix is as an array of m arrays, one of which is of length n, and all of which have length less than or equal to n.

If M is such as array, then the syntax M[i][j] can be used to access the (i,j) element in the conventional sense, except that the index origin in jq is 0.

Note that the expression M | getpath([i,j]) would also access M[i][j].

To set the M[i][j] element to, say, e, one can use the idiom:

M | setpath([i,j]; e)

Here's a simple example.

# A function to create an m x n matrix
# filled with the input element
def matrix(m;n):
  . as $init
  | ( [ range(0; n + 1) ] | map($init)) as $row
  | ( [ range(0; m + 1) ] | map($row))
 ;

# Task: create a matrix with dimensions specified by the user
# and set the [1,2] element:
(0 | matrix($m|tonumber; $n|tonumber)) | setpath([1,2]; 99)

If the above is in a file, say 2d.jq, the invocation:

jq -n -c --arg m 2 --arg n 3 -f 2d.jq

would produce:

[[0,0,0,0],[0,0,99,0],[0,0,0,0]]

Julia

Julia supports n-dimensional arrays as native data types: Array{T, N}, where T is the type of it´s elements and N is the number of dimensions.

function input(prompt::AbstractString)
    print(prompt)
    return readline()
end

n = input("Upper bound for dimension 1: ") |>
    x -> parse(Int, x)
m = input("Upper bound for dimension 2: ") |>
    x -> parse(Int, x)

x = rand(n, m)
display(x)
x[3, 3]         # overloads `getindex` generic function
x[3, 3] = 5.0   # overloads `setindex!` generic function
x::Matrix # `Matrix{T}` is an alias for `Array{T, 2}`
x = 0; gc() # Julia has no `del` command, rebind `x` and call the garbage collector

Manually calling the garbage collector may or may not actually collect the array, but it will be eventually.

Kotlin

Program arguments provide dimensions of the array (4 5 in the example).

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    // build
    val dim = arrayOf(10, 15)
    val array = Array(dim[0], { IntArray(dim[1]) } )

    // fill
    array.forEachIndexed { i, it ->
        it.indices.forEach { j ->
            it[j] = 1 + i + j
        }
    }

    // print
    array.forEach { println(it.asList()) }
}

Being Objective-C derivated from C, the [[Two-dimensional array (runtime)#C|C solution]] works fine in Objective-C too.

The "OpenStep" frameworks (GNUstep, Cocoa) does not provide a class for multidimensional array; of course it can be implemented in several way (also as a ''wrapper'' for the plain C way of handling arrays). Here I show a straightforward use of the NSMutableArray class.

{{works with|GNUstep}} {{works with|Cocoa}}



int main()
{
  @autoreleasepool {
    int num1, num2;
    scanf("%d %d", &num1, &num2);

    NSLog(@"%d %d", num1, num2);

    NSMutableArray *arr = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity: (num1*num2)];
    // initialize it with 0s
    for(int i=0; i < (num1*num2); i++) [arr addObject: @0];

    // replace 0s with something more interesting
    for(int i=0; i < num1; i++) {
      for(int j=0; j < num2; j++) {
        arr[i*num2+j] = @(i*j);
      }
    }

    // access a value: i*num2+j, where i,j are the indexes for the bidimensional array
    NSLog(@"%@", arr[1*num2+3]);
  }
  return 0;
}

OCaml

let nbr1 = read_int ();;
let nbr2 = read_int ();;
let array = Array.make_matrix nbr1 nbr2 0.0;;
array.(0).(0) <- 3.5;;
print_float array.(0).(0); print_newline ();;

or using the module [http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Bigarray.html Bigarray]:

let nbr1 = read_int ();;
let nbr2 = read_int ();;
let arr = Bigarray.Array2.create Bigarray.float32 Bigarray.c_layout nbr1 nbr2 ;;
arr.{0,0} <- 3.5;;
print_float arr.{0,0}; print_newline ();;

ooRexx

ooRexx arrays can be created with up to 999,999,999 dimensions...assuming you have enough memory to do so. Actually it's the 'size' of the array that's limited (the product of the dimensions).

Say "enter first dimension"
pull d1
say "enter the second dimension"
pull d2
a = .array~new(d1, d2)
a[1, 1] = "Abc"
say a[1, 1]
say d1 d2 a[d1,d2]
say a[10,10]
max=1000000000
b = .array~new(max,max)

{{out}}

Oz

Oz does not have multi-dimensional arrays. But we can create an array of arrays (similarly to most examples on this page):

declare
  %% Read width and height from stdin
  class TextFile from Open.file Open.text end
  StdIn = {New TextFile init(name:stdin)}
  Width = {String.toInt {StdIn getS($)}}
  Height = {String.toInt {StdIn getS($)}}
  %% create array
  Arr = {Array.new 1 Width unit}
in
  for X in 1..Width do
     Arr.X := {Array.new 1 Height 0}
  end
  %% set and read element
  Arr.1.1 := 42
  {Show Arr.1.1}

PARI/GP

tmp(m,n)={
  my(M=matrix(m,n,i,j,0));
  M[1,1]=1;
  M[1,1]
};

Pascal

{{works with|GNU Pascal|20060325, based on gcc-3.4.4}}

The following code is standard Extended Pascal (tested with gpc --extended-pascal):

program array2d(input, output);

type
 tArray2d(dim1, dim2: integer) = array[1 .. dim1, 1 .. dim2] of real;
 pArray2D = ^tArray2D;

var
 d1, d2: integer;
 data: pArray2D;

begin
 { read values }
 readln(d1, d2);

 { create array }
 new(data, d1, d2);

 { write element }
 data^[1,1] := 3.5;

 { output element }
 writeln(data^[1,1]);

 { get rid of array }
 dispose(data);
end.

Perl

{{works with|Perl|5.x}}

Predefining an array (or multi-dimension array) size is unnecessary, Perl dynamically resizes the array to meet the requirements. Of course I'm assuming that the user is entering array size 0 based.

sub make_array($ $){
  # get array sizes from provided params, but force numeric value
  my $x = ($_[0] =~ /^\d+$/) ? shift : 0;
  my $y = ($_[0] =~ /^\d+$/) ? shift : 0;

  # define array, then add multi-dimensional elements
  my @array;
  $array[0][0] = 'X '; # first by first element
  $array[5][7] = 'X ' if (5 <= $y and 7 <= $x); # sixth by eighth element, if the max size is big enough
  $array[12][15] = 'X ' if (12 <= $y and 15 <= $x); # thirteenth by sixteenth element, if the max size is big enough

  # loop through the elements expected to exist base on input, and display the elements contents in a grid
  foreach my $dy (0 .. $y){
    foreach my $dx (0 .. $x){
      (defined $array[$dy][$dx]) ? (print $array[$dy][$dx]) : (print '. ');
    }
    print "\n";
  }
}

The above is a bit verbose, here is a simpler implementation:

sub array {
    my ($x, $y) = @_;
    map {[ (0) x $x ]} 1 .. $y
}

my @square = array 3, 3;

# everything above this line is mostly redundant in perl,
# since perl would have created the array automatically when used.
# however, the above function initializes the array elements to 0,
# while perl would have used undef
#
#  $cube[3][4][5] = 60  # this is valid even if @cube was previously undefined

$square[1][1] = 1;
print "@$_\n" for @square;
> 0 0 0
> 0 1 0
> 0 0 0

Perl 6

{{works with|rakudo|2015-11-28}} Line 1: The input parse doesn't care how you separate the dimensions as long as there are two distinct numbers.

Line 2: The list replication operator xx will automatically thunkify its left side so this produces new subarrays for each replication.

Line 3: Subscripting with a closure automatically passes the size of the dimension to the closure, so we pick an appropriate random index on each level.

Line 4: Print each line of the array.

my ($major,$minor) = prompt("Dimensions? ").comb(/\d+/);
my @array = [ '@' xx $minor ] xx $major;
@array[ *.rand ][ *.rand ] = ' ';
.say for @array;

Typical run: Dimensions? 5x35 [@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @] [@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @] [@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @] [@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @] [@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @]



The most recent versions of Rakudo have preliminary support for 'shaped arrays'. Natively shaped arrays are a flexible feature for declaring typed, potentially multi-dimensional arrays, potentially with pre-defined
dimensions. They will make memory-efficient matrix storage and matrix operations possible.


```perl6
my ($major,$minor) = +«prompt("Dimensions? ").comb(/\d+/);
my Int @array[$major;$minor] = (7 xx $minor ) xx $major;
@array[$major div 2;$minor div 2] = 42;
say @array;

Typical run: Dimensions? 3 x 10 [[7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7] [7 7 7 7 7 42 7 7 7 7] [7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7]]

Pop11

vars itemrep;
incharitem(charin) -> itemrep;
;;; Read sizes
vars n1 = itemrep(), n2= itemrep();
;;; Create 0 based array
vars ar = newarray([0 ^(n1 - 1) 0 ^(n2 - 1)], 0);

15 -> ar(0, 0);
;;; Print element value
ar(0,0) =>

0 -> ar;

Pop11 is garbage collected so there is no need to destroy array. However, the array is live as long as variable ar references it. The last assignment makes sure that we loose all our references to the array turning it into garbage.

Pop11 arrays may have arbitrary lower bounds, since we are given only size we create 0 based array.

'''Note:''' Some people may instinctively try to write myarray as [[0] * width] * height, but the * operator creates ''n'' references to [[0] * width]

You can also use a two element tuple to index a dictionary like so:

myarray = {(w,h): 0 for w in range(width) for h in range(height)}
# or, in pre 2.7 versions of Python: myarray = dict(((w,h), 0) for w in range(width) for h in range(height))

There is no two-dimensional array-type built in to Scheme, but there is a vector.

;; Read x/y from user
(define x (begin (display "X: ") (flush-output-port) (read)))
(define y (begin (display "Y: ") (flush-output-port) (read)))

;; Create a vector, and fill it with a vector for each row
(define arr (make-vector x))
(do ((i 0 (+ 1 i)))
  ((= i x) )
  (vector-set! arr i (make-vector y 0)))

;; set element (x/2, y/2) to 3
(vector-set! (vector-ref arr (floor (/ x 2)))
             (floor (/ y 2))
             3)

(display arr) (newline)
(display "Retrieved: ")
(display (vector-ref (vector-ref arr (floor (/ x 2)))
                     (floor (/ y 2))))

Using a standard library

{{libheader|Scheme/SRFIs}}

There are SRFI libraries providing arrays. This example uses SRFI 63.


(import (except (scheme base) equal?)
        (scheme read)
        (scheme write)
        (srfi 63)       ; an array SRFI
        )

;; Read x/y from user
(define x (begin (display "X: ") (flush-output-port) (read)))
(define y (begin (display "Y: ") (flush-output-port) (read)))

;; Create an array
(define array (make-array #(0) x y))

;; Write to middle element of the array
(array-set! array 3 (floor (/ x 2)) (floor (/ y 2)))

;; Retrieve and display result
(display (array-ref array (floor (/ x 2)) (floor (/ y 2)))) (newline)

{{out}}


X: 3
Y: 5
3

The array will be destroyed by the garbage collector, when it is no longer needed.

{{works with|GNU Smalltalk}}

Smalltalk has no problems in creating objects at runtime. I haven't found a class for multidimensional array in the standard library, so let us suppose to have a class named MultidimensionalArray.

|num1 num2 arr|
num1 := stdin nextLine asInteger.
num2 := stdin nextLine asInteger.

arr := MultidimensionalArray new: { num1. num2 }.

1 to: num1 do: [ :i |
  1 to: num2 do: [ :j |
    arr at: { i. j } put: (i*j)
  ]
].

1 to: num1 do: [ :i |
  1 to: num2 do: [ :j |
    (arr at: {i. j}) displayNl
  ]
].

A possible implementation for a '''Bi'''dimensionalArray class is the following (changing ''Multi'' into ''Bi'' and using this class, the previous code runs fine):

Object subclass: BidimensionalArray [
  |biArr|
  <comment: 'bidim array'>
].
BidimensionalArray class extend [
  new: biDim [ |r|
    r := super new.
    r init: biDim.
    ^ r
  ]
].
BidimensionalArray extend [
  init: biDim [
     biArr := Array new: (biDim at: 1).
     1 to: (biDim at: 1) do: [ :i |
       biArr at: i put: (Array new: (biDim at: 2))
     ].
     ^ self
  ]
  at: biDim [
     ^ (biArr at: (biDim at: 1)) at: (biDim at: 2)
  ]
  at: biDim put: val [
     ^ (biArr at: (biDim at: 1)) at: (biDim at: 2) put: val
  ]
].

Instead of implementing such a class (or the MultidimensionalArray one), we can use a LookupTable class, using Array objects as keys (each element of the array will be an index for a specific ''dimension'' of the "array"). The final effect is the same as using an array (almost in the ''AWK sense'') and the approach has some advantages.

|num1 num2 pseudoArr|
num1 := stdin nextLine asInteger.
num2 := stdin nextLine asInteger.

"we can 'suggest' an initial value for the number
 of ''slot'' the table can hold; anyway, if we use
 more than these, the table automatically grows"
pseudoArr := LookupTable new: (num1 * num2).

1 to: num1 do: [ :i |
  1 to: num2 do: [ :j |
     pseudoArr at: {i. j} put: (i * j).
  ]
].

1 to: num1 do: [ :i |
  1 to: num2 do: [ :j |
     (pseudoArr at: {i. j}) displayNl.
  ]
].

SNOBOL4

{{works with|Macro Spitbol}} {{works with|Snobol4+}} {{works with|CSnobol}}

Note: trim(input) is needed for Snobol4+.

*       # Get user X,Y dimensions
        output = 'Enter X,Y:'; xy = trim(input)
        xy break(',') . x ',' rem . y

*       # Define and create array, 1-based
        arr = array(x ',' y) ;* Or arr = array(xy)

*       # Display array prototype
        output = 'Prototype: ' prototype(arr)

*       # Assign elements, angle or square brackets
*       # Same array can hold ints, strings, etc.
        arr<x,y> = 99; arr[1,1] = 'dog'

*       # Display elements
        output = 'arr[' xy '] = ' arr[x,y]
        output = 'arr[1,1] = ' arr[1,1]

*       # Release array for garbage collection
        arr =
end

Output:

Enter X,Y:
5,5
Prototype: 5,5
arr[5,5] = 99
arr[1,1] = dog

Toka

Toka has no direct support for 2D arrays, but they can be created and operated on in a manner similar to normal arrays using the following functions.

[ ( x y -- address )
  cells malloc >r
  dup cells >r
  [ r> r> r> 2dup >r >r swap malloc swap i swap array.put >r ] iterate
r> r> nip
] is 2D-array

[ ( a b address -- value )
  array.get array.get
] is 2D-get-element

[ ( value a b address -- )
  array.get array.put
] is 2D-put-element

And a short test:

5 5 2D-array >r             #! Create an array and save the pointer to it
10 2 3 r@ 2D-put-element    #! Set element 2,3 to 10
2 3 r@ 2D-get-element       #! Get the element at 2,3
r> drop                     #! Discard the pointer to the array

zkl

zkl doesn't have a native array type but lists of lists can do the same thing. It is garbage collected so things are cleaned up implicitly.

This code creates a 2d row major zero filled array.

Since the array is row major, sub-scripting works as expected: [row][col].

rows:=ask("Rows: ").toInt();
cols:=ask("columns: ").toInt();
array:=rows.pump(List.createLong(rows),List.createLong(cols,0).copy);
array[1][2]=123;
array.println();
array[1][2].println();

The createLong method pre-allocates a list, optionally filled with a constant or computation. {{out}}


Rows: 3
columns: 4
L(L(0,0,0,0),L(0,0,123,0),L(0,0,0,0))

If you want Matrix/linear algebra, you can use the GNU Scientific Library:

var [const] GSL=Import("zklGSL");	// libGSL (GNU Scientific Library)
rows:=ask("Rows: ").toInt();
cols:=ask("columns: ").toInt();
m:=GSL.Matrix(rows,cols);
m[1,2]=123;
m.format().println();
println(m[1,2]);

Again, garbage collected. {{out}}
