Array problem please help

[newToJava3]

Hi I am trying to create an array say of size 3. What I want this array to hold is another array. So say I have array myArr with indexes 0,1,2 .. In each of these indexes I want there to be another array. Is this possible in java?

If so how would I create the first array

whatComesHere[] myArr = new whatComesHere[3];

thanks

Hi,
I think what you're looking for is a two-dimensional array which is indeed possible in java.
Basically you can create a blank 2d array like so:
whatComesHere[][] myArr = new whatComesHere[3][3];
This would create in that array three arrays each with the capacity of three separate values. Also you can create 2d arrays like so:
whatComesHere [][] myArr = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}};
Hope that helped :)

You can also create a so called ragged array, that doesn't have the same length in every row like this:

int[][] array = new int[5][];
for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
  array[i] = new int[i+1];
}

this way you get an array with 5 rows, the first row has 1 element, the second 2 elements and so on.
