code for an array

[bob]

In my trying to understand java, and learning it as a beginner,
i am trying to understand arrays and codes. if i had an array called Table
of the integer type having 3 rows and 3 columns, and the constant variable
size_of_array has been defined as 3, how would i write the code.

Hello Bob:

What you are describing is a two dimensional array. You could declare the
Table array like this:

int[][]Table = new int[3][3];

Then reference the cells in the array using 2 indexes. The first cell would
be:

Table[0][0] = some_int_value;

You could easily use your size constant in place of the threes.

Hope this helps.
