array problem

[Venkata Raaman]

What is wrong with my code why am I getting warning..

public class My2DArray {
    
    int [] [] my2Darr= new int[5][];//the first one has to be filled which is base array
    my2Darr[0]= new int[3];//warning-cannot find symbol
//  symbol:   class my2Darr
  //location: class scjpchp3.My2DArray

//']' expected

//']' expected
    

    
    public static void main(String[]args){
        
        
        
    }

}

You cannot just put a statement like my2Darr[0]= new int[3]; in a class. You have to put it in a method, constructor, or block of code. To see this, the easiest thing to do is put the statement in a code block as in:

{ my2Darr[0]= new int[3]; }

or make the array variable as static and move the erroneous code to main method.
