Why my following code isn't working

Question

Problem:

I want to print the 11 as output!

My Code:

class Abhishek {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[][][] sample00 = {{{1, 2}, {3, 4}},
{{5, 6}, {7, 8}},
{{9, 10}, {11, 12}}
};
}

int x = sample00[2][1][0];
System.out.println(x);
}

Answer 1

All statement lines should be inside the main function.
Move the 'int x' and 'System..' lines up inside the bracket, and it will work.

Answer 2

Tibor Santa Actually you can have static initializers outside of any static method. They are useful to initialize static fields without having to call an init() method. Still i would prefer the Singleton approach to that

Thanks Giorgos D
I know about static blocks, but I haven't really had any need to use them so far. Anyway I guess the question here is on a more basic level.

Answer 4

Solution:

class Abhishek {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[][][] sample00 = {{{1, 2}, {3, 4}},
{{5, 6}, {7, 8}},
{{9, 10}, {11, 12}}
};

int x = sample00[2][1][0];
System.out.println(x);
}

//int x = sample00[2][1][0];
//System.out.println(x);
}
