Arrays......

[Karu Raj]

Here when i compile i got runtime exceptions.

We know that arrays are given default value >.......

then it is failing ???

public class TestDogs
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
TestDogs [] [] [] theDogs = new TestDogs [3][2][];
System.out.println(theDogs[2][0][0].toString());
}
}

Here the TestDogs[2][0][0] object doesn't exist.
And what's more,the subarray that the TestDogs[2][0] reference points to even hasn't be constructed.
So there's no way it'll turn out right.

java allows you to create arrays without mentioning the right most dimenesion. so the folloing line works fine

TestDogs [] [] [] theDogs = new TestDogs [3][2][];

but in line below you are accessing elements that have yet to be created

System.out.println(theDogs[2][0][0].toString());

the above line will work if u use something like this
theDogs[3][0]=new int[any size here];
theDogs[3][1]=new int[any size here];
theDogs[3][2]=new int[any size here];
//then this will work fine
System.out.println(theDogs[2][0][0].toString());

hope that helps

TestDogs [] [] [] theDogs = new TestDogs [3][2][];
System.out.println(theDogs[2][0][0].toString());

the above line will work if u use something like this
theDogs[3][0]=new int[any size here];
theDogs[3][1]=new int[any size here];
theDogs[3][2]=new int[any size here];

Hi Niranjan,
In the array declaration [3][2][] is given. Here 3 is the no. of two dimensioal arrays. so index range is 0-2 only know. theDogs[3][0] may give ArrayIndexOutOfBounds Exception, I think.
