Question

How to initialize 2D array with zeros and a number at specific row and column in C

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int arr[4][5] = { { 0 },      
                      { 0 },   
                      { [2] = 99 } };

    int rows = (sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]));
    int cols = (sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0][0])) / rows;

    for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++) {
            printf("%3d", arr[i][j]);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }

    return 0;
}




/*
run:

  0  0  0  0  0
  0  0  0  0  0
  0  0 99  0  0
  0  0  0  0  0
