Question

I am stuck on the last few problems of an array exercise. Could anyone lend a hand?

Write C++ statements that do the following:

1. store 5 in the first column of an array and make sure that the value in each subsequent column is twice the value in the previous column.

2. print the array one row per line.

3. print the array one column per line.

I think this will work for question #2:

for (row = 0; row < 10; row++)
     {
         for (col = 0; col < 20; col++)
             cout << alpha[row][col] << " ";

             cout << endl;
     }     

but question 1 and 3 have me stumped. thanks

Here’s what i came up with after your tips. thanks everyone

3.

for (col = 0; col < 20; ++col)
     {
         for (row = 0; row < 20; ++row)
             cout << alpha[row][col] << " ";

             cout << endl;
     }     

1.

for (row = 0; row < 10; row++)
   alpha[row][0] = 5;

   for (col = 1; col < 20; col++)
       for (row = 0; row < 10; row++)
       alpha[row][col]=alpha[row][col-1]*2;

Answer 1

For #1, run a loop that starts at zero and goes until the number of rows. In each iteration just assign 5 to array[row][0]=5 (since coloumn 0 is the first coloumn).

Now run a loop from 1 to the number of coloumns. Inside, run another loop for each row. just assign array[row][col]=array[row][col-1]*2.

For #3, simply reverse the order of the loops. We iterate over all coloumns, and for each coloumns we have to iterate over all rows and print a newline after that.

I would post code, but it is better for you to try to understand and write the code yourself.
