How to Increase Matrix Size on Python

Python uses multidimensional arrays to create a matrix of numbers. When you create an array, you specify the size of each array element for the matrix. You use the "resize" function to add elements to a matrix when you need more room for additional data. The added data is appended after the last value in the matrix.

Instructions

1. Open your Python editor and open the source code file to view the current code in the editor. Locate the array you want to resize.

2. Create a variable to add an integer value to the array. The following code sets up a variable to add 3 more values to a matrix array:

   addvalues = 3;

3. Call the "resize" function to add the additional space to the array. The following code appends three storage spaces to the array named "myarray":

   myarray.resize(addvalues)
