while learning C i am working on multidimensional arrays.... i am trying to rite a program in C to

pick up the largest number from any 5 row by 5 column matrix

i did it in one dimension by first sorting the array and then printing the last digit of array but i am lost in multidim please help dont give me prog just need to know the logic or way plz help
 

You can do this with a nested loop.

Outer loop
Loop through the rows, first row
array[0][0];

Inner Loop
Loop through the column and save biggest number;
array[0][1];
array[0][2];
etc.
array[0][MAX];


Then next row
array[1][0];

etc.

Last row
array[MAX][0];
 

thnx trying it again
 

But how to find the largest no among a row or coulmn

should we sort it first an then print or tell any esy approach
 

You don't have to sort the array. Just do a compare inside the inner loop and compare if the current value of the array is bigger than a variable which stores a "highscore".
If it's bigger, store the array's value in the highscore variable.
E.g.:
highscore = 0; // initialize highscore with 0 for unsigned type, -xyz for signed type
(outer loop)
(inner loop)
if (array[x][y] > highscore) highscore = array[x][y]; // remember highest value
(end of inner loop)
(end of outer loop)
printf(Highest value: , %...", highscore); //... depends on type of array
 

i wrote this code its working but its tooo long give suggstion how to optimize this code.


#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
main()
{
clrscr();
int n[5][5]={
2,4,7,5,9,
6,8,9,56,8,
3,5,6,57,89,
1,2,5,4,8,
5,8,6,3,200
};
int i,j,m,k,o,p,q;

printf("Matrix is\n {");

for(i=0;i<=4;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<=4;j++)
{
printf(" %d",n[j]);
if(j==4)
{
printf("\n");
}
}
}
printf("}\n\n\n");



for(j=0;j<=4;j++)
{

if(n[0][j]>n[0][0])
{
m=n[0][j];
n[0][j]=n[0][0];
n[0][0]=m;

}

}

for(j=0;j<=4;j++)
{

if(n[1][j]>n[1][0])
{
//n[1][0]=n[0][j];
k=n[1][j];
n[1][j]=n[1][0];
n[1][0]=k;
}

}
for(j=0;j<=4;j++)
{

if(n[2][j]>n[2][0])
{
//n[1][0]=n[0][j];
o=n[2][j];
n[2][j]=n[2][0];
n[2][0]=o;
}
}
for(j=0;j<=4;j++)
{

if(n[3][j]>n[3][0])
{
//n[1][0]=n[0][j];
p=n[3][j];
n[3][j]=n[3][0];
n[3][0]=p;
}

}
for(j=0;j<=4;j++)
{

if(n[4][j]>n[4][0])
{
//n[1][0]=n[0][j];
q=n[4][j];
n[4][j]=n[4][0];
n[4][0]=q;
}
}
if(m>k)
{
if(m>o)
{
if(m>p)
{
if(m>q)
{
printf("biggest no %d",m);
}
}
}
}
if(k>m)
{
if(k>o)
{
if(k>p)
{
if(k>q)
{
printf("biggest no %d",k);
}
}
}
}

if(o>m)
{
if(o>k)
{
if(o>p)
{
if(o>q)
{
printf("biggest no %d",o);
}
}
}
}

if(p>m)
{
if(p>k)
{
if(p>o)
{
if(p>q)
{
printf("biggest no %d",p);
}
}
}
}


if(q>m)
{
if(q>k)
{
if(q>p)
{
if(q>o)
{
printf("biggest no %d",q);
}
}
}
}


getch();

}
 

Code: 
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

#define ROW_SIZE  5
#define COL_SIZE  5

void main(void)
{
int array[ROW_SIZE][COL_SIZE]=
{{2,4,7,5,9},{6,8,9,56,8},{3,5,6,57,8},{1,2,5,4,8},{5,8,6,3,200}};

int ix, iy, max = 0;

clrscr();   /* In C, you cant call any function before variable declaration */

for(ix = 0; ix < ROW_SIZE; ix++)
  {
  for(iy = 0; iy < COL_SIZE; iy++)
    {
    if(max < array[ix][iy])
      {
      max = array[ix][iy];
      }
    }
  }

printf("Max size is %d \n", max);
getch();
}
 

hmmmm good n thnx
