Multi-dimensional Array Cannot convert int to int[]?

Question

As the title says, I keep getting an error saying I cannot convert int to int[]... what does this mean, and what do I have wrong?

package practiceClasses;

public class SodokuNotGame {

public static void main(String[] args) {

int[][][] sample = {1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9};

}

}

Answer 1

int [] sample={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

//You mean like this?

Answer 2

@Atul I want it to have an array like this:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
So 3x3, 3 rows, and 3 columns

Answer 3

class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int count=0;
int[] arr={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
for(int i=0;i<arr.length;i++)
{
if(count ==2)
{
count=0;
System.out.println (arr[i]);
}
else
{
count++;
System.out.print (arr[i]+" ");
}

}
}
}

Answer 4

@Atul So then what is the point of arrays like this: int [][] array = { {1,2,3},{4,5,6} }

Answer 5

int[][][] is 3d array, you need 2d

int[][] sample = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}};

Answer 6

zemiak Can you explain the difference in an array[] and array[][]

Answer 7

William Davis array[] is a 1d array. Whereas array[][] is a 2d array. And array[][][] is a 3d array

Answer 8

//import java.util.Arrays;

//here are three simple arrays of numbers
int[] arr1 = {1,2,3};
int[] arr2 = {4,5,6};
int[] arr3 = {7,8,9};

//this is array where element is another array
int[][] arr2D = {arr1, arr2, arr3};

//similar here
int[][] arr2Dx = {{1,2,3}, {4,5,6}, {7,8,9}};
//you can use it for table structure
//with row and columns, or for matrix

String s1D = Arrays.toString(arr1);
String s2D = Arrays.deepToString(arr2D);
String s2Dx =Arrays.deepToString(arr2Dx);
System.out.println(s1D);
System.out.println(s2D);
System.out.println(s2Dx);
