How to iterate over 2D array and pass each pair to a function?

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a matrix saved in a .txt file, it has values, I created a function that takes row and number as parameters, then it returns the value obtained from the matrix.txt file.
I have a 2D array containing pairs of rows/columns, they are not ordered also they are random pairs, How could I iterate overe this 2D array and pass each pair to the function getList(rw,cl) to obtain such a file as result.

result.txt
row,column,its value
row,columm,its value
etc.

Thanks for any help, notice please I am still beginner, so no advances tips

What I have tried:

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>

using namespace std;

const int col_nbr = 7;
const int row_nbr = 3;

int static getValueOf[col_nbr][row_nbr];      
    
void loadMatrix(){

int x, y;


ifstream in("/storage/emulated/0/matrix.txt");

//This my matrix .txt file saved in pc    
/*        
11 12 13 14 15 16 17
21 22 23 24 25 26 27
31 32 33 34 35 36 37
*/      
        
        
        

if (!in){
    cout << "Cannot open file.\n";
    return;
}

  for (x = 0; x < row_nbr; x++){       
     for (y = 0; y < col_nbr; y++){
            
       in >> getValueOf[x][y];
       }
        }

in.close();
}

int getList(int rw,int cl){

return getValueOf[rw-1][cl-1];
}


int main(){

loadMatrix();

//I would take each pair row/columm from this 2D array coords, then I pass the row and the columm to the function getList(rw,cl) to get a list of the coorespondent values from the matrix.txt

int coords [4][2] = {{3,0},{2,1},{6,2},{1,1}};
//int coords has 4 rows and 2 columms
  

    cout<<getList(1,1)<<endl;  //11
    cout<<getList(3,7)<<endl;  //37
    
    
   

return 0;
}

I am kinda skeptical right now. You can create a nested loop for reading from file but cannot create a single loop?

not clear!
give details of problem.

@ppoymorphe, ok, then let's forget everything above for a moment and say, we have a function getList(row,columm), it returns a singe int value; and a 2D array in the .cpp file, it has 4 couples of pair row/column.
How to iterate getList(row,column) via two nested for-loops over the 2D array, in order to get the correspondent values for these couples, to be stored in a new 1D array or in external file, doesn't matter

What about abandoning global variables and using modern C++ features and library?
(pass your data file as stdin, using input redirection).

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <array>
using namespace std;

using Matrix = vector < vector <int > >;

int main()
{
  Matrix m;
  string line;
  while ( getline( cin, line) )
  {
    vector <int> row;
    istringstream iss(line);
    while ( iss )
    {
      int i;
      iss >> i;
      row.push_back(i);
    }
    m.push_back( row );
  }

  array< array <int, 2>, 4> arr{{{3,0},{2,1},{6,2},{1,1}}};

  for ( const auto & a : arr)
  {
    int r = a[1]; // it looks there is some confusion on 'rows' and 'columns' interpretation...
    int c = a[0];
    cout << "M[" << r << "," << c << "]= " << m[r][c] << "\n";
  }
}
