Question

Give the memory representation of the two-dimensional array.

Answer 1

Let A be two-dimensional array
Let M is rows and N is columns

The A array may be stored in the memory in one of the following methods:

1. Row-major representation:
In this type of method, the first row occupies the first set of memory locations reserved for the array and second-row occupies the next set and so on.

2. Column-major representation:
In this type of method, the first column occupies the first set of memory locations reserved for the array and the second column occupies the next set and so on.
