How the choices are working and what are the conditions to be followed while assigning arrays to other.

public class test{
public static void main(String [] args){

byte [][] big = new byte[7][7];
byte [][] b = new byte[2][1];
byte b3=5;
byte b2 [][][][] = new byte [2][3][1][2];

//Insert here
}
}

Which of the following can be inserted at the comment line(//Insert here) and still allow the code to compile.

1. b2[0][1] = b;
2. b[0][0] = b3;
3. b2[1][1][0] = b[0][0];
4. b2[1][2][0] = b;
5. b2[0][1][0][0] = b[0][0];
6. b2[0][1] = big;

Thanks...

You can answer this question by considering the dimensions of the arrays.

big - 2
b - 2
b3 - 0
b2 - 4
b2[][] - 2
b[][] - 0
b2[][][] - 1
b2[][][][] - 0

Hi Keith:
I tried to run this program. It's running fine for every other options except option 3. Whereas I guess it should also compile...isn't it??

b2[1][1][0] = b[0][0];

Here, in the LHS b2 needs a single dimension object(i.e only a single variable) and on the RHS the b[0][0] point to a single variable. Hence it should be compatible with each other. I am not getting why it's giving error. Please help!!!


Thanks
Swapnil

No, b2[][][] is a 1 D array.

1. b2[0][1] = b;
2. b[0][0] = b3;
3. b2[1][1][0] = b[0][0];
4. b2[1][2][0] = b;
5. b2[0][1][0][0] = b[0][0];
6. b2[0][1] = big;

Hi Supriya, I am not too good at multi dimensional arrays but I will try to explain it... I will take it one by one:

1.b2 is a multidimensional array but here it's given as b2[0][1] hence, this will become a 2 D array(as 2 dimensions of b2 are already specified so there remains only 2). Whereas b is also a 2D array hence it will get fit into b2

2. I think this one is easy..here b[0][0] is the index position of element at (0,0) in b hence our primitive variable b3 will easily fit into it.

3. As I explained earlier b2[1][1][0] is a 3D array so remains only 1D Hence, it needs a 1D array and not a 2d. that's y b[0][0] can't fit into it.

4. Again we are trying to fit a 2D array into 1D array. Hence it"ll give error.

5.it's pretty clear.

6.here, b2 is also 2D array and big is also 2D array so b3 can be assigned to b2.

I think it helps...I tried my level best but still if u find any errors. I apologize for that.


Regards
Swapnil

Here is one way of seeing which declarations match.
