2D Arrays
Definition
2D arrays are data structures that store values in a grid-like format with rows and columns. They allow for the organization and manipulation of data in a two-dimensional manner.
Analogy
Think of a 2D array as a chessboard, where each square on the board can hold a value. Just like how you can access any square on the chessboard by specifying its row and column, you can access elements in a 2D array by providing their respective row and column indices.

Methods: In programming, methods are blocks of code that perform specific tasks. They can be used to manipulate or retrieve data from 2D arrays.
Access: Access refers to the ability to retrieve or modify the values stored in an array. In the context of 2D arrays, it involves accessing specific elements using their row and column indices.
Arrays: Arrays are data structures that store multiple values of the same type. A 2D array is simply an extension of this concept, allowing for storage in a grid-like format instead of just linearly.
