Working with tabular and rectangular data
Working with tabular and rectangular data in C++ is fundamental to data analysis and manipulation. Tabular data, or rectangular data, is structured in rows and columns, resembling a table or spreadsheet. C++ provides various techniques and libraries that enable efficient handling and processing of such data. This section will explore the key concepts and approaches for working with tabular and rectangular data in C++.
To represent tabular data in C++, the most common approach is to use two-dimensional arrays or vectors. Arrays provide a straightforward way to store data in a grid-like structure, where each element represents a specific cell in the table. Alternatively, vectors of vectors can be used to create a more flexible and resizable structure, allowing for dynamic manipulation of the tabular data.
When working with tabular data, it is essential to consider techniques for data input and output. C++ provides various mechanisms to...
