how to pass a 2d array in c++ code example

Example 1: c++ code to write 2d array

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
	int n,m;
	int a[n][m];
	cin >> n >>m;
	for ( int i=0; i<n; i++){
		for (int j=0; j<m; j++){
			cin >> a[i][j];
		}
	}
	
	for ( int x=0; x<n; x++){
		for (int y=0; y<m; y++){
			cout << "a[" << x << "][" << y << "]: ";
			cout << a[x][y] << endl;
		}
	}
	return 0;
}

Example 2: passing a 2d array cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

typedef vector< vector<int> > Matrix;

void print(Matrix& m)
{
   int M=m.size();
   int N=m[0].size();
   for(int i=0; i<M; i++) {
      for(int j=0; j<N; j++)
         cout << m[i][j] << " ";
      cout << endl;
   }
   cout << endl;
}


int main()
{
    Matrix m = { {1,2,3,4},
                 {5,6,7,8},
                 {9,1,2,3} };
    print(m);

    //To initialize a 3 x 4 matrix with 0:
    Matrix n( 3,vector<int>(4,0));
    print(n);
    return 0;
}
