fill two dimensional array

//this way u can fill your array row by row

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
for (int i = 0; i < row; i++){
	for (int j = 0; j < column; j++){
        array[i][j] = input.nextInt();
	}
}

//this way u can fill your array column by column
//Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
for (int i = 0; i < column; i++){
	for (int j = 0; j < row; j++){
        array[i][j] = input.nextInt();
	}
}

	for (int j = 0; j < column; j++){
		cin >> x;

	}
}

//	[ 1 2 3 ]
//	[ 4 5 6 ]
//	[ 7 8 9 ]

//this way you can fill your array column by column

for (int i = 0; i < column; i++){
	for (int j = 0; j < row; j++){

Fill 2-dimensional array with value

int a[100000][100000];
std::fill((int*)a,(int*)a+sizeof(a)/sizeof(int),0);

Fill two dimensional array

// To fill two dimenional array with some simbol, e.g. "*"
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int number = scanner.nextInt();

String[][] matrix = new String[number][number];

for (String[] strings : matrix) {
    Arrays.fill(strings, ".");
}

// To modify only middle and/or diagonales:
for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < matrix[i].length; j++) {
        if (i == number / 2) {
            matrix[i][j] = "*";
        }
        if (j == number / 2) {
            matrix[i][j] = "*";
        }
        if (i == j) {
            matrix[i][j] = "*";
        }
        if (i == number - j - 1) {
            matrix[i][j] = "*";
        }
    }
}
