In C Language How to Use Pointer to Access Two-Dimensional Array Element

Abstract:

In C language, it is difficult to use the pointer to access the two-dimensional array element. The reason is the addresses of two-dimensional array are many, pointers that can access the two-dimensional array element are many and complex. This paper analyzes the two-dimensional array address and pointer, introduces various forms of using pointer to express two-dimensional array element, explains the relationship between pointer and two-dimensional array address. The program examples show how to use pointers to access the two-dimensional array element.
