python中怎么定义二维数组,如何在Python中定义二维数组

I want to define a two-dimensional array without an initialized length like this:

Matrix = [][]

but it does not work...

I've tried the code below, but it is wrong too:

Matrix = [5][5]

Error:

Traceback ...

IndexError: list index out of range

What is my mistake?

You're technically trying to index an uninitialized array. You have to first initialize the outer list with lists before adding items; Python calls this

"list comprehension".

# Creates a list containing 5 lists, each of 8 items, all set to 0

w, h = 8, 5;

Matrix = [[0 for x in range(w)] for y in range(h)]

You can now add items to the list:

Matrix[0][0] = 1

Matrix[6][0] = 3 # error! range...

Matrix[0][6] = 3 # valid

Note that the matrix is "y" address major, in other words, the "y index" comes before the "x index".

print Matrix[0][0] # prints 1

x, y = 0, 6

print Matrix[x][y] # prints 3; be careful with indexing!

Although you can name them as you wish, I look at it this way to avoid some confusion that could arise with the indexing, if you use "x" for both the inner and outer lists, and want a non-square Matrix.
