This is from K&B chapter 1 language fundamentals...Please let me know about the logic here...
public class test
{
public static void main(String []args)
{
int [][][] x = new int[3][][];
int i,j;
x[0] = new int[4][];
x[1] = new int[2][];
x[2] = new int[5][];
for(i- 0;i<x.length;i++)
for(j=0;j<x[i].length;j++)
{
x[i][j] = new int[i+j+1];
System.out.println("size ="+x[i][j].length);
}
}
}


Answer of this is:11

thanks

Hi Surekha,

Are you sure you got the answer 11? When I tried this question I got something different.

actuallly x is a 3 dimensional array.
first you declare x[0],x[1], and x[2] as three 2 -D arrays .
then x[i][j] = new int[i+j+1];(will point to a 1-D array),
initializes a single dimensional array of length i+j+1 and this length
is being printed.

Hi,

Actually the question is how many lines of output will be produced ?

Explaination goes as follows

length of x, a 3d array is 3 and x[0] has the length 4, x[1] has 2 and x[2] has 5 from the declarations.

When we say for(i=0;i<x.length;i++) leads to for(i=0;i<3;i++) --> outer for loop.
for the first iteration for outer for loop , inner for loop leads to
for(j=0;j<4;j++) cos for 1st iteration i =0 and x[i] =x[0] has the length 4.
hence the number of lines of output for 1st iteration of outer for loop is 4.

similarly we can say
when i =0 -- > number of lines of output is 4
when i =1 -- > number of lines of output is 2
when i =2 -- > number of lines of output is 5

Hence total number of lines of output will be 4+2+5 = 11.

hope this clears the doubt.

hi sureka,

If we assume in the outer loop it is i=0 not i-0, then we will get 11 different lines of output not i think 11 value as output.

what do you say

hey guys really sorry in the for loop i=0 and not i-0
