Final answer:
Here is the code:
sum = 0; // Initialize sum to zero
for (int i = 0; i < a2d.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < a2d[i].length; j++) {
sum += a2d[i][j]; // Add each element to sum
}
}
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want to calculate the sum of all the elements in a two-dimensional array named a2d and assign it to an int variable named sum, you can use a nested for-loop to iterate through the array.
Here is how you could write the code:
sum = 0; // Initialize sum to zero
for (int i = 0; i < a2d.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < a2d[i].length; j++) {
sum += a2d [i] [j]; // Add each element to sum
}
}
The outer loop runs through each row of the 2D array, while the inner loop runs through each element of the current row, adding each element's value to the sum.
