How to access the elements of a 2D array?

by

If you have

a=[[1,1],[2,1],[3,1]]
b=[[1,2],[2,2],[3,2]]

Then

a[1][1]

Will work fine. It points to the second column, second row just like you wanted.

I’m not sure what you did wrong.

To multiply the cells in the third column you can just do

c = [a[2][i] * b[2][i] for i in range(len(a[2]))]

Which will work for any number of rows.

Edit: The first number is the column, the second number is the row, with your current layout. They are both numbered from zero. If you want to switch the order you can do

a = zip(*a)

or you can create it that way:

a=[[1, 2, 3], [1, 1, 1]]
