Picture need...

[Netty poestel]

 
public class StringArrayTest
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
      String[][][] arr  =
      {
         { { "a", "b" , "c"}, { "d", "e", null } },
         { {"x"}, null },
         {{"y"}},
         { { "z","p"}, {} }
      };
      System.out.println(arr[0][1][2]);
   }
}

can anyone put this 3-D array in a 'box' drawing , like the K&B book shows on arrays [ for e.g Lesson I, fig. 1-3].
a picture shall say > 1000 words

Thx. for any help

Sorry I dont have the patience to draw boxes, but does this help:

[
->0 [
      0 [a, b, c],
    ->1 [d, e, null]
    ],           ^----2
 
  1 [
      0 [x],
      1 null
    ],
 
  2 [
      0 [y]
    ],
 
  3 [
      0 [z, p],
      1 []
    ]
]

I have not shown the indexes for the innermost elements because they are easy to see. I produced a flat printout of the array with the Java 5.0 java.util.Arrays.deepToString method. Then I indented and indexed it by hand. I've tried to mark arr[0][1][2] in a rather clumsy way.

Thx again

I can atleast get it to work now.
For e.g this time around I could figure out myself what

(arr[3][0][1])

and

(arr[3][1][0]) & arr[1][1][0])

shall yield.

I've drawn myself a sketch on an A4 and I think I have a hang on the 3ds.
Thx.
