Editing elements in a 2D Array ✏️

Preface 🐶

So we've learnt how to access elements in an array, but whats also cool is that we can change those elements too!

Getting Started 🎉

To edit an element in a 2D array you need two things!

• The row index
• The column index

With those two things we can access and thus edit any element!

Remember that indexes start at 0, so the first row and first column will have indexes of 0.

Say we have the following array:

int my_array[2][4] = {
  {1, 2, 3, 4}, // First row
  {5, 6, 7, 8} // Second row
};

We know that to access element 2, we can do the following:

int my_num = my_array[0][1];

Luckily, editing it is very similar!

Let say we want to change the element at [0][1] to be 42, we can do the following:

my_array[0][1] = 42;

Pretty cool right? Onto the final topic we go!
