Creating A 2D Array

In most languages if I wanted to create a two-dimensional array, I would utilize some nested looping construct to generate columns of rows. The ReasonML Array module abstracts this away.

let grid = Array.make_matrix(10, 10, 0);

grid
|> Array.iter(column => {
  column
  |> Array.iter(cell => {
    print_int(cell);
  });
  print_endline("");
});

/*
0000000000
0000000000
0000000000
0000000000
0000000000
0000000000
0000000000
0000000000
0000000000
0000000000
*/

The make_matrix function allows you to specify dimensions of a two-dimensional array with all positions initialized to the same value -- that third argument.
