Final answer:
To populate a 2D array with values that are the sum of their row and column indices, use nested loops where each element is set to the sum of its indices.
Step-by-step explanation:
To set the values in a two-dimensional array int[][] values with the given pattern, you can use nested loops. Here is how you could write the loops:
for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < values[i].length; j++) {
values[i][j] = i + j;
}
}
The outer loop iterates over each row (sub-array), while the inner loop iterates over each element of the row. The value at each position is calculated by adding the row index (i) and the column index (j).
