Jagged array : A multidimensional array that has lines of varying length I also use C # cinnamon tooth arrays in Python. Is it possible?
int[][] jaggedArray = new int[3][];
jaggedArray[0] = new int[5]; jaggedArray[1] = new int[4]; jaggedArray[2] = new int[2];
Just have a 2d array and fill it with zeros
jaggedArray = [[] for row in range(3)]
'''
above line same as
jaggedArray = []
for row in range(3):
jaggedArray.append([])
'''
jaggedArray[0] = [0]*5
jaggedArray[1] = [0]*4
jaggedArray[2] = [0]*2
print(jaggedArray)
You can do something like this:
jaggedArray=list()
jaggedArray.append([0]*5)
jaggedArray.append([0]*4)
jaggedArray.append([0]*2)
This will create similar array that you have created in sample code.
you can use a mutable data type for this, ie list
just create a list, define it's size if you want list_ = [None for i in range(4)]
and then with index you can add sublist inside it of any length like
list_[1] = [1,2,3,4,]
# list_ = [None, [1,2,3,4], None, None]
or you can create an empty list list_ =[]
and add the sublist using append operation like
list_.append([1,2,3])
#list_ = [[1,2,3]]
in later stage if you want to overwrite the sublist, you can directly do that by assigning the index to new sublist ie list_[2] = [1,2,3,]
listobject. Python containers (and in general) are heterogenous, you can put whatever type of object you want in them
