Working with two-dimensional array at runtime in C programming

Problem

Write a C program to calculate sum and product of all elements in two-dimensional array using run time compilation.

Solution

Runtime compilation or initialization is also called as dynamic allocation. Allocation of memory at the time of execution (run time) is known as dynamic memory allocation.
The functions calloc() and malloc() support allocating of dynamic memory.

In this program, we will calculate the sum of all elements and product of all elements of two-dimensional array at run time.

Logic for computing sum of all elements in 2D array −

printf("Sum array is : 
");
for(i=0;i<2;i++){
   for(j=0;j<3;j++){
      sum[i][j]=A[i][j]+B[i][j];
      printf("%d\t",sum[i][j]);
   }
   printf("
");
}

Logic for computing product of all elements in 2D array −

printf("Product array is : 
");
for(i=0;i<2;i++){
   for(j=0;j<3;j++){
      product[i][j]=A[i][j]*B[i][j];
      printf("%d\t",product[i][j]);
   }
   printf("
");
}
}

Example

Live Demo

#include<stdio.h>
void main(){
   //Declaring the array - run time//
   int A[2][3],B[2][3],i,j,sum[i][j],product[i][j];
   //Reading elements into the array's A and B using for loop//
   printf("Enter elements into the array A: 
");
   for(i=0;i<2;i++){
      for(j=0;j<3;j++){
         printf("A[%d][%d] :",i,j);
         scanf("%d",&A[i][j]);
      }
      printf("
");
   }
   for(i=0;i<2;i++){
      for(j=0;j<3;j++){
         printf("B[%d][%d] :",i,j);
         scanf("%d",&B[i][j]);
      }
      printf("
");
   }
   //Calculating sum and printing output//
   printf("Sum array is : 
");
   for(i=0;i<2;i++){
      for(j=0;j<3;j++){
         sum[i][j]=A[i][j]+B[i][j];
         printf("%d\t",sum[i][j]);
      }
      printf("
");
   }
   //Calculating product and printing output//
   printf("Product array is : 
");
   for(i=0;i<2;i++){
      for(j=0;j<3;j++){
         product[i][j]=A[i][j]*B[i][j];
         printf("%d\t",product[i][j]);
      }
      printf("
");
   }
}

Output

Enter elements into the array A:
A[0][0] :A[0][1] :A[0][2] :
A[1][0] :A[1][1] :A[1][2] :
B[0][0] :B[0][1] :B[0][2] :
B[1][0] :B[1][1] :B[1][2] :
Sum array is :
000
000
Product array is :
000
000
