8.2 Applications of 2D Arrays

• A 1D array is linear, while a 2D array is two-dimensional
• 2D arrays can be used to model real-world scenarios involving grid-like data, such as weather patterns
• Match the game board concept with its description:

  Layout and State ↔️ Represents the configuration of the game board

  Manipulation ↔️ Updates game board elements during gameplay
• How are pixels accessed in a 2D array?

  Row and column indices
• How are pixels accessed in a 1D array?

  Single index
• What is one common use of 2D arrays in programming?

  Game boards
• Steps to solve a Sudoku puzzle using a 2D array

  1️⃣ Store the initial puzzle state in a 2D array

  2️⃣ Apply backtracking algorithms

  3️⃣ Check for valid moves

  4️⃣ Update the array with new values

  5️⃣ Repeat until the puzzle is solved
• Using 2D arrays simplifies the implementation of image processing techniques.


  True
• In a 2D array, pixels are accessed using row and column indices
• In a 2D array, data is organized in a tabular format
• What is a common use case for 1D arrays in data management?

  Storing lists or vectors
• Why is sequential access faster in row-major order?

  Favors access by rows
• What is the Python code to iterate through a 2D array called `matrix` and print each element?

  `for row in range(len(matrix)):` <br> ` for col in range(len(matrix[0])):` <br> ` print(matrix[row][col], end=" ")` <br> ` print()`
• How can a 2D array be visualized?

  As a table
• What does `matrix[0][2]` refer to in a 2D array?

  First row, third column
• To access an element in a 2D array, you use the row and column indices, starting from 1.

  False
• How are images represented in a 2D array?

  As a grid of pixel values
• To access the pixel at row 5 and column 8 in a 2D image array `image`, you would use image[5][8]
• A 2D array can be visualized as a table with rows and columns
• Match the use case with an example:

  Game Boards ↔️ Chess board

  Image Processing ↔️ Digital photos

  Data Tables ↔️ Spreadsheets
• What kind of data do 2D arrays represent well in programming?

  Grid-like data
• Updating game board elements in a 2D array is straightforward using row and column indices
• In image processing, 2D arrays represent images as a grid of pixel values
• What is the code to access the pixel at row 5 and column 8 in a 2D image array called `image`?

  `image[5][8]`
• Match the array concept with its description:

  Data Structure (1D) ↔️ Linear sequence of elements

  Data Structure (2D) ↔️ Grid with rows and columns

  Organization (1D) ↔️ Single series of data

  Organization (2D) ↔️ Tabular format
• Accessing an element in a 2D array requires using row and column indices.

  True

  True
• How can a chess board be represented using a 2D array?

  An 8x8 array
• To access the pixel at row 5 and column 8 in a 2D image array `image`, you would use `image[5][8]`.
• In a 1D array, images are represented as a 2D grid of pixel values.

  False
• In a 2D array, indexing starts from 0 for both rows and columns.


  True
• A 2D array is commonly used to store pixel data in image processing
• A chess board can be modeled as an 8x8 2D array in game development.


  True
• Why are 2D arrays preferred over 1D arrays in image processing?
