Cant compile the program

[jo sim]

Hi here is the code that i am trying to compile I am trying to assign p to the index 00 and want to put it in the method and print the value in class k. can someone tell me what can i do so it does that?

class j
{
String[][] first = new String[1][3];
first[0][0]= "p";
void method(){
System.out.println(first[0][0]);

}
}


class k{
public static void main(String[] args){
j one = new j();
one.method();

}
}

In Java, you can't have the assignment first[0][0]=p where you wrote it. It has to be within a method, a constructor etc... for example, here it is, placed in a constructor:

class j {
    String[][] first = new String[1][3];
 
    public j() {
        first[0][0]= "p";
    }
 
    void method(){
        System.out.println(first[0][0]);
    }
}
