2D array to 1D array

[zaryabsaeed]

Is it possible to assign the elements of a 2D array to a 1D array? I'm making a card game where I HAVE TO use a 2D array to create the deck and while dealing the cards, the player has his cards stored in a 1D array.

 	string player[25] = {};
	
	int x = 0;
	int i = 0;
	int j = 0;
	
	while (x < 25)
	{
		player[x] = DeckOfCards[i][j];
		++x;
		j = j+2;
		if (j >= 13)
			j == 0;
		if (j == 12)
		 ++i;
		 
		 
		cout << player[x] << endl; //used this to check if the cards had been dealt properly.
	}

This is the part of the code which deals the cards (and they have to be dealt alternately). The program crashes when I run the code (presumably because I'm exceeding dimensions?) DeckOfCards is a [4][13] array.

Don't mark your topic as solved unless it actually is solved.

Just pretend that the 1D array is a 2D array by using math - this is how your compiler handles 2D arrays under the hood.
