Why does- int maximum = UKX[0][1]; not work?

[Philip Tolhurst]

Hello

I'm new here but it seemed like a good place to ask my question.

I have an array of arrays (or multidimensional array as I would call it).

I want to find the highest value of all the elements at location 1 and the lowest of all the elements at location 2.

So I wrote the following:

int[][] UKX =  {{591566,601708,591566,600509},
					{593573,594182,586592,591489},
					{600088,602233,596358,599401},
					{592071,601150,592071,600120}, 
					{592292,593668,586095,591998}, 
					{599672,599672,591552,592353}, 
					{601442,602856,592655,599676}, 
					{606747,610577,601314,601480}, 
					{609190,609678,604883,608299},  
					{609659,610142,606671,608738}, 
					{604655,609576,604238,608527}, 
					{605158,607207,602377,603708}, 
					{607479,609148,604210,606009},  
					{600472,607140,597344,606290}, 
					{603668,604520,598648,602001},  
					{606743,608430,604950,605229}, 
					{604232,609133,603288,609133}, 
					{600916,605409,599716,605103}, 
					{600264,602341,598683,599738}, 
					{598570,599359,595182,598334},
					{597654,602046,597271,600007}, 
					{592071,601150,592071,600120}};
		
		int maximum = UKX[0][1]; // start with the first value		
	    for (int i=1; i<UKX.length; i++) 
	    {
	        if (UKX[i][1] > maximum) 
	        {
	            maximum = UKX[i][1];   //new maximum
	        }
	    }

I'm honestly at a loss and have spent an hour searching the web for an answer which I am sure is probably stupidly simple.

For the record Eclips is telling me: Syntax error on token ';'

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Cheers

Did you try compiling it outside of the IDE?

[Henry Wong]

And can you show us the code for the whole class?

Actually I've just tried running it as a stand alone Java application and it works fine.

Just as I expected it would.

So it's an Android issue.......
