So guys I know how to use both 1D and 2D arrays.
But in one of private plugins I found that 1D array was converted to 2D.

It was like this ---

new g_iPlayerType[33]
new var1 = g_iPlayerType[iPlayer]
var1 = var1[0][0] | 4

And all around the sma the variable was used as g_iPlayerType[0][0] .

My Questions ---

1. If I use the above method will I be able to convert 1D array into 2D ??
If no, then whats the way of converting 1D array into 2D ??

2. I know the uses of logocal operators, but can anyone tell me how is the bitwise or | works ?
How is the code executed with bitwise or ??

can`t tell you about arrays, but there are great tutorials on bitsum operators here: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=90507 and here: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=139916

Thanks DjSoftero for the links of the Bitwise threads.
But can anyone help me with my first question ??

I'm not sure how that would work at all unless it's some unique trick in the Pawn programming language.

As far as converting a 1D array to an 2D array, it really depends on what you are actually trying to do. In the use case you posted about, it's likely not converting anything. It's likely changing the interpretation of the same memory space.

You should attach the plugin's source code so that we can see how it's actually being used.

Basically you cant convert 1d array into 2d array, you only can add that 1d array into the 2d array

And the code you provided is wrong,and might cause a compiling error

So, whats the right way to convert a 1D array into 2D ?
Can you tell me fysiks ?

Fysiks, if do thr same way above then the interpretation of memory space is converted from 1D into 2D.
Will it work if I do the same way as above in my own plugin ?

In general, you would have to create the 2D array and then add the contents of the 1D array into the new 2D array.

I am just talking about the reverse thing.
If I do this , will it work ???

new var[33]
var = var[0][0]

Since I am not creating any rows and columns, will it work ?

No it wont

So, can you tell me the correct way of converting 1D array into 2D ?
