In computer science, when we talk about how multi-dimensional arrays (particularly 2D arrays) are stored in memory, we often refer to "column-major" and "row-major" order. This pertains to the way elements are laid out in memory.
1. **Row-Major Order**: In row-major order, elements of a row are stored in contiguous memory locations. For example, in a 2D array, all the elements of the first row are stored first, followed by all the elements of
