How to Create an array that store data using specfic table

Hello



I am trying to created an array that contain any number of rows (max is 1000) and 4 columns only.

I have tried using this 2D array, but the tutor told me i canoot use it since 2D array need integer and we have double like price, Here is the table :

Itemcode Item Quantity Price


123 Computer 13 1500
333 Printer 5 450
567 TV 8 1800
989 Camera 12 2200


For example if the question if i wanted to access one of the array in item column:

 

  A[1][1] which is computer and Quanity  A[1][2] 

so is there is away to convert table to array?
do sugget making 4 arrays for each column?


Thank you in advance


I post this from University , i am going home now , so i may not around to reply for around an hour or so ?
