Defining an array of arrays

[Andy Ganczak]

I want to create a data structure in which a 2x2 array contains elements
that themselves are arrays and integers.

array[x][y] 0 1 2 ...
0 array1[a] array2 array3[d]
1 array4[e] array5[f] array6[r]
2 array7[t] integer1 ...
...

Is this possible and how would I go about doing it efficiently?

Thanks in advance for any help you may have!

That sounds like an imagined solution to some problem.

What is the problem?

array[x][y] 0 1 2 ...
0 array1[a] array2 array3[d]
1 array4[e] array5[f] array6[r]
2 array7[t] integer1 ...
...

This is larger than a 2x2 array, inconsistent with the explanation.

Is this possible and how would I go about doing it efficiently?

Represent the integers as single-item arrays. Use std::vector
instead of raw arrays.
