Three Dimensional Array in C
Three dimensional (3D) array contains three for loops
in programming. So to initialize and print three dimensional array in C programming, you have to use
three for loops as shown in the following program.
C programming Code for Three Dimensional (3D) Array
A three dimensional (3d) array can be thought of as an array of arrays of arrays.
Following is a simple C program to initialize three dimensional (3D) array of dimension 3*4*2, then it will access some
elements present in the array and display the element on the screen :
/* C Program - Three Dimensional Array */
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
clrscr();
int arr[3][4][2] = {
{
{2, 4},
{7, 8},
{3, 4},
{5, 6}
},
{
{7, 6},
{3, 4},
{5, 3},
{2, 3}
},
{
{8, 9},
{7, 2},
{3, 4},
{5, 1}
}
};
printf("arr[0][0][0] = %d\n",arr[0][0][0]);
printf("arr[0][2][1] = %d\n",arr[0][2][1]);
printf("arr[2][3][1] = %d\n",arr[2][3][1]);
getch();
}
When the above c program is compile and executed, it will produce the following result:
Here the outer array has three elements, each of which is a 2-D array of four 1-D arrays, each of which contains two integers.
It means, a 1-D array of two elements is constructed first. Then four such 1-D arrays are placed one below the other to give
a 2-D array containing four rows. Then, three such 2-D arrays are placed one behind the other to yield a 3-D array containing
three 2-D arrays.
