#### Step 1

1 of 3

A two-dimensional array is an $\textbf{array}$ where $\textit{each element}$ is $\textbf{an array}$ by itself. We, in that situation, model $\textbf{two}$ types of relationship; assuming representing it as a $\textbf{two-dimensional}$ collection, one that exists between $\textit{rows}$ of the array, which has the $\textbf{first size}$ declarator, and another one exists among the $\textit{columns}$ of that array, which has the $\textbf{second size}$ declarator.

There is an important note we should mention here. The $\textbf{range}$ of any $\textit{index}$ is $[0,(SIZE-1)]$ inclusively. The $\textit{first}$ item has an index 0, and, therefore, the $\textit{last}$ item has an index SIZE-1.

See the below program where the $\textbf{rows}$ represents $\textit{ranks}$ of a deck of cards, and the $\textbf{columns}$ represent the $\textit{suits}$.
