Thread: arrays ... what am i doing wrong?

i was trying to create a new array:
int[][] location;
but for some reason the moment i try to call that array it gives me an error:
int[][] location;
location = new int[10][2];
error: "syntax error on token ";" , { expected after token"
this error is given for the declaration of the array
any one know what i am doing wrong?

Your braces are likely to be messed or you are trying to initialize your array outside of a method. Hard to tell without seeing your code. When you post code use code tags: [code] your code [/code]

Please post any relevant code and the full text of error messages with your question.

well this is basically the whole code .... and the error is given the scond i try to allocate the memory of the array
the error is given for the declarations.

public class AI{
		int max,min;
		int[][] location;
		int[] best;		
		location = new int[10][2];
		best = new int[4];
}

You can not use an "assignment" statement outside an executable block of code.

You are just within the class body. You can declare variables, or initialize variables, but not have assignment to an existing variable.

int[][] location = new int[10][2]; would be the simple way to do what you are trying to do.

To use int[][] location; and location = new int [10][2]; the location = ... would have to be inside a method (like main).

oh ok ... thx !
