\begin{array}{col1col2...coln} column 1 entry & column 2 entry ... & column n entry \\ . . . \end{array}
Math arrays are produced with the array environment. It has a single
mandatory argument describing the number of columns and the alignment
within them. Each column, coln
, is specified by a single letter
that tells how items in that row should be formatted.
c
-- for centred
l
-- for flush left
r
-- for flush right
Column entries must be separated by an &
. Column entries may
include other LaTeX commands. Each row of the array must be terminated
with the string \\
.
Note that the array
environment can only be used in math mode, so
normally it is used inside an equation
environment.
