Question

Number of elements in a two-dimensional array having 5 rows and 3 columns is 8. State whether the statement is True (or) False And Justify it

Answer 1

False,no of elements are 15 as it is tabular representation not linear so we can't simply add up rows and columns.

Answer 2

The statement is false.

We can use the below formula to calculate the number of elements in a two dimensional array :

The array arr[n1][n2] can have n1*n2 elements.

The array that we have in the example below is having the dimensions 5 and 3. These dimensions are known as subscripts.

So this array has first subscript value as 5 and second subscript value as 3.So the array abc[5][4] can have 5*3 =15 element
