User: You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is: 1. The user sends a message. 2. You will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, containing the word 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU), followed by ONLY your web search query. After outputting your search query, you MUST output the token 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU) to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise as there is a 400 characters limit.
The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token 
. Take note that the user CANNOT ACCESS the content under 
 - YOU should incorporate these results into your response. Additionally, If the token 
 is present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason.
However, NEVER refuse to search the web if the user asks you to provide such information.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Do your best to be informative. However, you MUST NOT make up any information. If you think you might not know something, search for it.

Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.

Title: std::vector and contiguous memory of multidimensional arrays
Content: the global <b>memory</b> (all of the v[i][j]) will not be contiguous. The usual way of creating <b>2D</b> <b>arrays</b> is to use a single. std::vector<double> v; and calculate the indexes, exactly as you suggest doing with float. (You can also create a second std::vector<float*> with the addresses if you want. I've <b>always</b> just recalculated the indexes, however.)

Content: 1. To access a particular <b>2D</b> <b>array</b> consider the <b>memory</b> map for an <b>array</b> declaration as shown in code below: 0 1 a [0]0 1 a [1]2 3. To access each element, its sufficient to just pass which <b>array</b> you are interested in as parameters to the function. Then use offset for column to access each element individually.

Title: Multidimensional Arrays in C - 2D and 3D Arrays - GeeksforGeeks
Content: A two-dimensional <b>array</b> or <b>2D</b> <b>array</b> is the simplest form of the multidimensional <b>array</b>. We can visualize a two-dimensional <b>array</b> as one-dimensional <b>arrays</b> stacked vertically forming a table with 'm' rows and 'n' columns. In C, <b>arrays</b> <b>are</b> 0-indexed, so the row number ranges from 0 to (m-1) and the column number ranges from 0 to (n-1).

Content: double** is the worst choice. Its not even worth considering. The double indirection is going to make access significantly slower. vector<vector<double>> will have the same charactersitics, but more safety. If your <b>array</b> is small and its size is known at compile time, then a nested std::array will be acceptable.. In general, the best solution is to use a std::vector and linearly index it.

Title: Can I always treat 2D array as 1D array? : r/C_Programming - Reddit
Content: No. It is Undefined Behavior according to the C standard. The problem is that ptr = &matrix[0][0]; points to the first element of matrix[0] which is an <b>array</b> of M int-s. Therefore accessing at position M or more is out-of-bounds access because it crossed boundary of int[M] object.
