Question 45.
How do I use a multi-dimensional
array ?

Answer

A common misconception is that

Java supports the use of multi-
dimensional arrays. In fact, Java
supports arrays whose elements
may be of any type, including
arrays. That is, an array of
arrays and an array of arrays of
arrays is quite possible, while a
"2D array" and a "3D array" is
not. This distinction is important
in coming to terms with the Java
programming language, and is
not purely academic as some
might suggest. Consider the
following code:

// An array that holds

String arrays - NOT a 2D String
array.
String[][] array;

// Iterate the "outer"

array
for(int i = 0; i <
array.length; i++)
{
// Get an
element of the "outer" array.
String[]
element = array[i];
