ya, i know i'm being very vague.
A is suppose to be the matrix
I and J are the locations that the variable is in.
For example, you have an int array[3][3] going from 1, 2, 3.... to 9, and the address starts at 1000.
You want to find the address location of array[1][1], which is 5,I think this equation is used to find the memory address of the data type, int in this example.
I don't quite recall what it's used for, all I remember is this equation. From what I can remember i think it's used to find the starting address of a defined array location, but i could be wrong. All i remember is that this equation is to be used related to 2D arrays.
