[RESOLVED] This array doesn't work.

The book example of this array has an error when I try to run it.
int[][] x = { { 2, 3 }, { 4, 5 }, { 6, 7 } };
error:
Array initializers can only be used in a variable or field initializer. Try using a new expression instead.

Ok, after looking at the MSDN, I think it should look like:
int[,] x = new int[3, 2];

Is the book example above(up top) even correct?

Which one are you wanting? The Multidimensional array or the Jagged array? The first one with the error looks more suited to a mutlidimensional array, which is what you declared in the second one:

PHP Code:

---

int[,] x = new int[3, 2] { {2, 3}, {4, 5}, {6, 7} }; 


---

?

EDIT: Also, jagged arrays would be declared like so:

PHP Code:

---

int[][] x = new int[][] { new int[] {2,3,4}, new int[] {5,6,7} }; 


---

I just wanted to be sure that the first one is defenitely an error before I go marking in the book to fix it.
I will replace it with the second line that I believe to be the correct version of the multidimensional array.

In your line:
int[][] x = new int[][] { new int[] {2,3,4}, new int[] {5,6,7} };

You are only initializing part of the jagged array? That is ok to do? What happens with the empty index when the array gets used?

Ok, it defenitely was incorrect. It has to have the new.
