Memory Representation of Multidimensional Array

Memory Representation

1. 2-D arrays are Stored in contiguous memory location row wise.
2. 3 X 3 Array is shown below in the first Diagram.
3. Consider 3×3 Array is stored in Contiguous memory location which starts from 4000 .
4. Array element a[0][0] will be stored at address 4000 again a[0][1] will be stored to next memory location i.e Elements stored row-wise
5. After Elements of First Row are stored in appropriate memory location , elements of next row get their corresponding mem. locations.

Corresponding Element and Corresponding Memory Location :

1. This is integer array so each element requires 2 bytes of memory.
