Multidimensional Arrays in C# With Examples

In C#, a multidimensional array is an array that contains more than one dimension, such as a two-dimensional array or a three-dimensional array.

A two-dimensional array is an array of arrays, where each inner array represents a row of the array. A three-dimensional array is an array of arrays of arrays, where each innermost array represents a plane of the array.

Here is an example of how you can declare and initialize a two-dimensional array in C#:

This array has 3 rows and 3 columns, and it contains the values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

You can access the elements of a multidimensional array using the indexing syntax. For example, to access the element at row 1 and column 2 of the array, you can use the following code:

This will assign the value 6 to the element variable.

You can also use a loop to iterate through the elements of a multidimensional array. Here is an example of how you can use a nested loop to print all the elements of a two-dimensional array:

This will output the following:

Here are three examples of multidimensional arrays in C#:

Two-dimensional array:

This array has 3 rows and 3 columns, and it contains the values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Three-dimensional array:

This array has 2 planes, 3 rows, and 2 columns, and it contains the values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Jagged array:

This array is an array of arrays, where each inner array represents a row. The rows have different lengths, which makes this a jagged array. This array contains the values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
