Code With Me: 2D Rectangular and Jagged Arrays in C

In this video, I walk through coding 2D rectangular and jagged arrays in C using CLion. We'll explore how to store and analyze passing yards per quarter for an entire American football season. Starting with a rectangular array (one row per game, four quarters per game), we'll build functions using test-driven development to calculate total passing yards per game and average passing yards per quarter. Next, we expand to a jagged array to handle scenarios like overtime or games ending early due to weather. Through this, we’ll compare rectangular vs jagged array implementations and explore the differences in iterating across rows vs columns. Along the way, we dive into debugging techniques, test-first coding practices, and learn how to make our code more maintainable. By the end, you'll gain hands-on experience with both rectangular and jagged arrays, while sharpening your C programming and debugging skills.

We cover introductions to programming in C and Java. But I also have lots of software and computer engineering topics like PIC programming, advanced programming techniques, and things that distinguish good code from code that works.
