这是一个来自C、CPP和Java背景的初学者的代码

rows = int(input())
cols = int(input())

matrix = []
for i in range(rows):
  row = []
  for j in range(cols):
    row.append(0)
  matrix.append(row)

print(matrix)

为什么这么长的代码，在Python中也是如此？

很久以前，当我不熟悉Python时，我看到了编写2D矩阵的单行答案，并告诉自己我不会再在Python中使用2D矩阵。（这些单行很吓人，它没有告诉我Python在做什么。还要注意，我不知道这些短手。）

为便于阅读而重写：

# 2D array/ matrix

# 5 rows, 5 cols
rows_count = 5
cols_count = 5

# create
#     creation looks reverse
#     create an array of "cols_count" cols, for each of the "rows_count" rows
#        all elements are initialized to 0
two_d_array = [[0 for j in range(cols_count)] for i in range(rows_count)]

# index is from 0 to 4
#     for both rows & cols
#     since 5 rows, 5 cols

# use
two_d_array[0][0] = 1
print two_d_array[0][0]  # prints 1   # 1st row, 1st col (top-left element of matrix)

two_d_array[1][0] = 2
print two_d_array[1][0]  # prints 2   # 2nd row, 1st col

two_d_array[1][4] = 3
print two_d_array[1][4]  # prints 3   # 2nd row, last col

two_d_array[4][4] = 4
print two_d_array[4][4]  # prints 4   # last row, last col (right, bottom element of matrix)

试试看：

rows = int(input('Enter rows\n'))
my_list = []
for i in range(rows):
    my_list.append(list(map(int, input().split())))

Use:

matrix = [[0]*5 for i in range(5)]

第一个维度的*5有效，因为在这个级别上数据是不可变的。

要声明一个零（1）矩阵：

numpy.zeros((x, y))

e.g.

>>> numpy.zeros((3, 5))
    array([[ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
   [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
   [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.]])

或numpy.ones（（x，y））例如

>>> np.ones((3, 5))
array([[ 1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.],
   [ 1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.],
   [ 1.,  1.,  1.,  1.,  1.]])

甚至三维都是可能的。(http://www.astro.ufl.edu/~warner/prog/python.html请参见-->多维数组）

输入矩阵和打印的用户定义功能

def inmatrix(m,n):
    #Start function and pass row and column as parameter
    a=[] #create a blank matrix
    for i in range(m): #Row input
        b=[]#blank list
        for j in range(n): # column input
            elm=int(input("Enter number in Pocket ["+str(i)+"]["+str(j)+"] ")) #Show Row And column  number 
            b.append(elm) #add value to b list
        a.append(b)# Add list to matrix
    return  a #return Matrix 

def Matrix(a): #function for print Matrix
    for i in range(len(a)): #row
        for j in range(len(a[0])): #column
            print(a[i][j],end=" ") #print value with space
        print()#print a line After a row print

m=int(input("Enter number of row")) #input row
n=int(input("Enter number of column"))
a=inmatrix(m,n) #call input matrix function 

print("Matrix is ... ")

Matrix(a) #print matrix function
