Thread: problem with Array (Java Beginner)

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my code and I really hope you can help me! In this part of my code I would like to let the user make two user inputs. "eingabeZeile" and "eingabeSpalte". This user input should then be but to the place of my array "Spielfeld" like this: spielfeld[eingabeZeile][eingabeSpalte], but in the way I try to use it eclipse just gives me an error code: The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable.

I use IO.readInt() in there to let the user type in an input. Our prof gave us that class.
I hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong or how I can solve this different. As you might have guessed: I'm not an english native, so feel free to correct, but not to judge and please ask if something is unclear.

Thank you !
Joana

Edit: If you go into the advanced editor (Go Advanced), you can then highlight your code and click on #. That will place code tags around you code for your.

Regarding your problem. I presume you want to allocate an array based on the two values you entered. You need to do it like this:

int[][] Spielfeld = new int[eingabeZeile][eingabeSpalte];

That creates a new 2-D array of eingableZeile rows by eingabeSpalte columns. And remember that Java does not really have 2-D arrays. It is simply an array of arrays.

Here is the coder for Equality of Two Arrays
public class Exercise23 {
static void equality_checking_two_arrays(int[] my_array1, int[] my_array2)
{
boolean equalOrNot = true;

if(my_array1.length == my_array2.length)
{
for (int i = 0; i < my_array1.length; i++)
{
if(my_array1[i] != my_array2[i])
{
equalOrNot = false;
}
}
}
else
{
equalOrNot = false;
}

if (equalOrNot)
{
System.out.println("Two arrays are equal.");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Two arrays are not equal.");
}
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
int[] array1 = {2, 5, 7, 9, 11};
int[] array2 = {2, 5, 7, 8, 11};
int[] array3 = {2, 5, 7, 9, 11};

equality_checking_two_arrays(array1, array2);
equality_checking_two_arrays(array1, array3);
}
}


Note: If there is any mistake please correct it and mention the error.

Hi,
Thanks for your answers, but my problem is not exactly solved by this. What I like todo ist to have an array and then the user can say which "field" of the Array he wants to change. So by typing in 3 and 2 the user would for example reach spielfeld[3][2]... I'm sorry for not specifying that...
Thanks
