Multidimensional Array?

[rockies1]

How do I use a multidimensional array?

I will have an unknown number of records with 10 fields apiece.

Is an array the way to go or is there a better way?

Thanks!

I would think that an array would be enough rather than use a multidimensional array.

public class Y{
  public static void main(String[] args){
   X x = new X();
   x.findRecord("Bill Murray");  
 } 
}
 class X{
  private Employee[] emp;

 public X(){
  emp = new Employee[] {new Employee(165,"Craig Johnson"), new Employee(182,"Bill Murray")}; 
 }
  public void findRecord(String persontofind){
    for(int i = 0; i < emp.length; ++i){
     if(emp[i].getEmpName().equals(persontofind)){
      System.out.print(emp[i].getEmpId() + "\t");
       System.out.print(emp[i].getEmpName());
        break; 
  }else{
       if(i == emp.length - 1){
        System.out.println("Employee could not be found"); 
       }
      } 
     }
    }
   } 

 class Employee{
  private int empid; 
  private String name; 
   
  public Employee(int empid, String name){
    this.empid = empid; 
    this.name  = name; 
  }
  
  public int getEmpId(){return empid;} 
  public String getEmpName(){return name;}
 }
