working with 2d arrays in javascript code example

Example 1: creating a 2d array in js

var x = new Array(10);

for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
  x[i] = new Array(3);
}

console.log(x);

Example 2: multi-dimensional array js

var array = [
  ["0, 0", "1, 0", "2, 0", "3, 0", "4, 0"],
  ["0, 1", "1, 1", "2, 1", "3, 1", "4, 1"],
  ["0, 2", "1, 2", "2, 2", "3, 2", "4, 2"],
  ["0, 3", "1, 3", "2, 3", "3, 3", "4, 3"],
  ["0, 4", "1, 4", "2, 4", "3, 4", "4, 4"],
  ]; // Think of it as coordinates, array[x, y] x = 0; y = 0; is "0, 0" on 
	// this grid

console.log(array[3][3]); // returns "3, 3"
// If you use graphics (ex: p5js or JS Canvas) then this will be a 5x5 map.
// Useful for roguelikes and/or raycasters.

Example 3: creating 2d array in javascript

var [r, c] = [5, 5]; 
var m = Array(r).fill().map(()=>Array(c).fill(0));

Example 4: javascript create 2d array

function create2DArray(rows, columns, value = (x, y) => 0) {
  var array = new Array(rows);
  for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
    array[i] = new Array(columns);
    for (var j = 0; j < columns; j++) {
      array[i][j] = value(i, j);
    }
  }

  return array;
}

var array = create2DArray(2, 3, (row, column) => row + column);
console.log(array);
//output: [[0, 1, 2],
//         [1, 2, 3]]
