Multi Dimensional Array In C# With Example

In this article, we will learn about Multi-Dimensional Array in C# with an example. The Multi-Dimensional Array in C# is a type of array that contains more than one rows to store the data on it. It is also known as the Rectangular Array in C#.NET as it has the same length for each row. This can be a two-dimensional array or a three-dimensional array or more (any N dimension).

Types of Array in C#.NET

Arrays are categorized into the following three categories. 

• Single-dimensional arrays
  
• Multidimensional arrays or rectangular arrays
  
• Jagged array

 Now, create a Console Application in Visual Studio and write the below lines of code in it.

using System;
 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
    namespace ConsoleDemo
    {
        class Program
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                //Multi-Dimensional array Example
                /* Array with 4 rows and 2 columns*/
                int[,] _MultiDimentionArray = new int[4, 2] { { 3, 7 }, { 2, 9 }, { 0, 4 }, { 3, 1 } };
                int i, j;

                for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
                {
                    for (j = 0; j < 2; j++)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("a[{0},{1}] = {2}", i, j,  _MultiDimentionArray[i, j]);
                    }
                }
                Console.ReadKey();
            }
        }
    }

I hope you understood the concept of Multi-Dimensional Array in C#.
