# MatDenseRestoreArray
returns access to the array where the data for a `MATDENSE` matrix is stored obtained by `MatDenseGetArray()`
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscmat.h"
PetscErrorCode MatDenseRestoreArray(Mat A, PetscScalar **array)
```
Logically Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***mat -*** a dense matrix
- ***array -*** pointer to the data (may be `NULL`)
## Fortran Note
`MatDenseRestoreArray()` Fortran binding is deprecated (since PETSc 3.19), use `MatDenseRestoreArrayF90()`
