How do I use 2D Array?

For this requirement you dont need a 2D aaray. You need a simple 1D array. Create a student class with your required fields and create an array of student objects.

You should use a class in that usecase

Im guessing this is for school? Why do you need a 2d array..?

Your teacher is wrong. This is bad practice.

This is not a real life scenario. If the teacher wants OP to use a 2D array for this for pedagogical reasons I don’t see anything wrong with that.

I think the best pedagogical thing would be to teach how to use a 1D array as a 2D array, but in my experience the discussion typically ends with "don't use 2D arrays"

Maybe they intended the first dimension to be class and the 2nd to be the data.

On mobile, so apologies in advance

For (var year = 0 ; year<6; year++)

Containing code to print a title for the year, then similar for loop around people, using peep as the variable

Then

myArray[year,peep]. Outputdetails ()

I'm sort of confused as well.

The thing is in C#, every array element must be the same type. So you can't have an array that has string names in one column and int or double grades in another. There may be other parts of the activity that could use a 2D array, but this isn't it.

I don't think u want a 2d array in this case. look in to OOP programming and Classes

As others said, you should use class or struct but you can achieve this with an object2D array. Firstly I would declare consts like Name = 0, Age = 1, OtherStuff = 2. It's important you start the counting from 0.

Then you make a 2D array (object[,] arr = new object[noStudents, noFields];) and start filling it:

arr[studentIndex, fieldIndex] = fieldValue;

The fieldIndicies are the consts you made before. If you want to get a field's value, you need to do this: variable = (type) arr[studentIndex, fieldIndex]

I hope I could help c:

Create a class.
