python create a 2x2 matrix on input code example

Example 1: how to get matrix element in the form of matrix in python

# A basic code for matrix input from user 
  
R = int(input("Enter the number of rows:")) 
C = int(input("Enter the number of columns:")) 
  
# Initialize matrix 
matrix = [] 
print("Enter the entries rowwise:") 
  
# For user input 
for i in range(R):          # A for loop for row entries 
    a =[] 
    for j in range(C):      # A for loop for column entries 
         a.append(int(input())) 
    matrix.append(a) 
  
# For printing the matrix 
for i in range(R): 
    for j in range(C): 
        print(matrix[i][j], end = " ") 
    print()

Example 2: scanning 2d array in python

If you want to take n lines of input where each line contains m space separated integers like:

1 2 3
4 5 6 
7 8 9 

a=[] // declaration 
for i in range(0,n):   //where n is the no. of lines you want 
 a.append([int(j) for j in input().split()])  // for taking m space separated integers as input
