Passing 2D array as a parameter to a function

#1

When we pass 2D array as a parameter to a function then why do we need to put the column value next to it?

Also while declaring a 2D array we have to do so. Why?

#2

Answer to both is :
int arr[][]={1,2};
now how the compiler knows if its 2x1 or 1x2

#3

So why only column size has to be mentioned. Why can’t we mention only teh row size?

#4

int arr[2][]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8};
now how the compiler knws if there are 5 elements in 1 row or 8 or xyz…
He can’t just simply dived total elements between different rows.
