I want to have a static array with arrays in it. I know you can make a normal array like this:
int test[] = {1,2,3,4};
But I want to do something like this (Xcode gives me a bunch of warnings and stuff):
int test[] = {{1,2}, {3,4}};
In python it would be:
arr = [[1,2], [3,4]];
What's the proper way to do this?
To have a multidimensional array, you'd need two levels of arrays:
int test[][] = {{1,2}, {3,4}};
However, that will not work, as you need to declare the size of the inner-most arrays except the last one:
int test[2][] = {{1,2}, {3,4}};
Or if you need an even stricter type safety:
int test[2][2] = {{1,2}, {3,4}};
You can use typedef like this
typedef int data[2];
data arr[] = {{1,2},{3,4}};
This approach may be clearer if you use a "good" name for the type definition
You need array of arrays or 2 dimensional arrays :
int test[][] = {{1,2}, {3,4}};
EDIT : I am out of touch with C. This is almost correct but not entirely as shown by LiraNuna.
