How to take 2d array input in Python?

Question

Can anyone explain how to take 2d array input in Python?

Answer 1

There are multiple ways to take 2d array input in Python. Here I have mentioned the basic to take 2d array input:

n_rows= int(input("Number of rows:"))

n_columns = int(input("Number of columns:"))

#Define the matrix

matrix = [ ]

print("Enter the entries row-wise:")

#for user input

for i in range(n_rows):          # A for loop for row entries

    a =[ ]

    for j in range(n_cols):      # A for loop for column entries

         a.append(int(input()))

    matrix.append(a)

  

#To print the matrix

for i in range(n_rows):

    for j in range(n_cols):

        print(matrix[i][j], end = " ")

    print( )

Output:

Enter the number of rows:2

Enter the number of columns:3

Enter the entries rowwise:

3

4

5

6

7

8

3 4 5

6 7 8

The code is not working properly. Change the second line to:
n_cols = int(input("Number of columns:"))
