Array 2D Class Reference
Defines a two-dimensional array with the elements organized into rows and columns. The array is defined with a limited number of operations similar those provided in other languages. The elements of the array, which store Python references, can be accessed using normal subscript notation, 
x[i, j]. The class is implemented as an array of arrays.

Detailed Description
Array2D(nrows, ncols)
Creates a two-dimensional array with elements organized into rows and columns. The number of rows and columns in the array are provided as arguments. The elements are initialized to
None. The elements of the array are accessed by row and column position with the first element of each row and each column having an index of 0.
- Parameters:
- nrows
- The number of rows in the array, which must be >= 1.
- ncols
- The number of columns in the array, which must be >= 1.
numRows()
Returns the number of rows in the 2-D array.
- Returns:
- The number of rows in the array.
numCols()
Returns the number of columns in the 2-D array.
- Returns:
- The number of columns in the array.
clear()
Clears the array by setting every element to
None.
clear(value)
Sets every element to a given value. All of the elements in the array will reference the same object, not separate copies.
- Parameter:
- value
- The value to be stored in each element of the array.
__getitem__: value = x[row, col]
Returns the value stored in an element of the array.
- Parameters:
- row
- The row index of the element whose value is to be returned. It must be >= 0 and less than the number of rows in the array.
- col
- The column index of the element whose value is to be returned. It must be >= 0 and less than the number of columns in the array.
- Returns:
- The value stored in the given array element.
- Exceptions:
- IndexError
__setitem__: x[row, col] = value
Stores a new value into a specific element of the array. The contents of the array element in the given row and column is changed to
value.
- Parameters:
- row
- The row index of the element to be changed. It must be >= 0 and less than the number of rows in the array.
- col
- The column index of the element to be changed. It must be >= 0 and less than the number of columns in the array.
- value
- The new value to be stored in the given element.
- Exceptions:
- IndexError
