I got:

SortedArray2D= [['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], ['f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j'], ['k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o'], ['p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't'], ['u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y']]

print(SortedArray2D[:][1])

gives

Quote:['f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j']

and

print(SortedArray2D[1][:])

also gives

Quote:['f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j']

If I want to 2D array access without numpy, how can I solve this?

I know we can do SortedArray2D[i][j], can't we do SortedArray2D[:][j]?

actually, what do you want to achieve?
