I keep recieving a token error, How can this be fixed ?

[Daggerfang]

All of the code I have written so far is working, except for this method. I have never heard of a token error before this. The array has to be of that size, is there a better way to set the parameters or solve this error.

public static void sortNames(String[][2] firstAndLastNames, boolean sortBasedOnFirstName){
    
}

Any feedback would be helpful, Thank you in advanced.

recieving a token error

Is the error from a Java SE class?
Have you looked in the API doc for a description of the error?

Please copy and paste here the full text of the error message.

[Daggerfang]

Syntax error on token "2" delete this token.
Is all the error says.

I am checking the API docs right now

Do what the compiler says; the compiler is right, always.

kind regards,

What compiler are you using? I get a different error message with the javac command: error: ']' expected

[Daggerfang]

When I use Eclipse it gives me the token error.
When I use Netbeans it gives me the javac command: error: ']' expected.
either one gives me an error that makes no sense to me

Both are right: Eclipse wants you to remove the '2' and Netbeans expected a ']' instead of the '2'. Eclipse's message is more clear here (imho).

So if both are right, how would I set the parameters for the array if not in the method ?

Use Eclipse's suggestion and removee the '2' in the parameter declaration.
