Multi Dim Array Question

[Mike Cunningham]

It's safe to say we will probably be tested on this concept during the SCJP exam.
I'm not sure of the answer though....
Array 1:
int[][] arrayA = new int[5][10];
- Per my reading material...the first index operator represents five rows...second index represents 10 columns.
Array 2:
int[][] arrayA = { {1,2,3} , {4,5,6} , {7,8,9} };
- I don't understand the nested curly braces method...please help.

Right,
1. 5 rows 10 columns
2. 3 rows 3 columns as in
row 0: 1,2,3
row 1: 4,5,6
row 2: 7,8,9
This is a short way of declaring and initializing an array in one shot !

You can see this array in this direction for you convienient.
int[][] arrayA = { {1,2,3} ,
{4,5,6} ,
{7,8,9} };
Now it become 3x3( rows by column ) matrix and in java it contain 0,1,2 rows as well as 0,1,2 column.

----> Row0 Column0 Row0 Column1 Row0 Column2
----> Row1 Column0 Row1 Column1 Row1 Column2
----> Row2 Column0 Row2 Column1 Row2 Column2
