2d matrix using list in python code example

Example 1: python initialize a 2d array

x = [[foo for i in range(10)] for j in range(10)]
# x is now a 10x10 array of 'foo' (which can depend on i and j if you want)

Example 2: 2d array python3

# 5x6, 2-d array of booleans using list comprehension:

matrix = [[False for col in range(6)] for row in range(5)]

# 6x5, 2-d array of banana's using list comprehension:

matrix = [['banana' for col in range(5)] for row in range(6)]
