Initializing 2D arrays means setting up or creating a two-dimensional array with initial values before using it in a program.
Initializing 2D arrays is like setting up a grid for a game of Battleship. You create the grid with rows and columns, and then you place ships or markers on specific coordinates to start the game. Similarly, initializing a 2D array involves defining its dimensions and assigning initial values to specific elements.
Array Declaration: Array declaration refers to specifying the type and size of an array before using it in a program.
Array Initialization: Array initialization involves assigning initial values to individual elements of an array during its creation.
Two-Dimensional Array: A two-dimensional array is an organized collection of data elements arranged in rows and columns. It allows for storing and accessing data in a tabular format.
