Array Storage Order and Address Calculation

The video tutorial explains how two-dimensional arrays are stored in memory using row major and column major orders. It details the process of storing elements row by row or column by column and provides formulas for calculating the address of elements in both storage methods. The tutorial also discusses the importance of understanding the base address and the size of elements for accurate address calculation.

What are the two methods for storing two-dimensional arrays in memory?

• Linear order and non-linear order

• Row major order and column major order

• Direct order and indirect order

• Sequential order and random order

In row major order, how are the elements of a two-dimensional array stored?

• Row by row

• Column by column

• Diagonally

• Randomly

In a 3x4 array stored in row major order, which element comes immediately after a[1][4]?

• a[2][1]

• a[1][5]

• a[2][2]

• a[3][1]

In a 3x4 array, which element is stored immediately after a[2][4] in row major order?

• a[3][2]

• a[1][1]

• a[2][5]

• a[3][1]

In a 3x4 array stored in row major order, which element comes immediately after a[3][3]?

• a[1][1]

• a[2][4]

• a[4][1]

• a[3][4]

In a 3x4 array stored in row major order, which element comes immediately after a[2][2]?

• a[3][1]

• a[2][1]

• a[1][3]

• a[2][3]

In a 3x4 array stored in row major order, which element comes immediately after a[1][3]?

• a[1][5]

• a[2][3]

• a[2][1]

• a[1][4]

Which of the following is true about column major order storage?

• Elements are stored column by column

• Elements are stored row by row

• Elements are stored randomly

• Elements are stored diagonally

In column major order, which element is stored immediately after a[3][1]?

• a[3][2]

• a[1][3]

• a[2][1]

• a[1][2]

In a 3x4 array stored in column major order, which element comes immediately after a[1][2]?

• a[2][3]

• a[2][2]

• a[1][3]

• a[3][2]
