Arrays' size

[Jonathas Carrijo]

When I compile the code:

class A {
  void aMethod(a, b, c, d){
    int i = a - 2*b;
    int j = c - 2*d;
  
    boolean[i][j] aBool;
  }
}

I get the following compiler-error msg:
"Can't specify array dimension in a type expression."
Why's that? According to Simon's Cert Guide, "Since array size is not used until runtime, it is legal to specify size with a variable rather than a literal".
Thanks,

That should be:
boolean[][] aBool = new boolean[i][j];
