I need a data structure, that can hold such datas:

[[0, 92], [12, 85]]

You see, I have a list and in this list I have a list of Integers. But the sublist needs a size of 2 elements.


How can I declare such a datastructure?

Is this the best way?



One minor problem is, that I cannot fix the size of the sublist to 2.

If there will be no duplicate keys, you could use a Map implementation, Hashtable or something similar

If you want to fix the size of the sublist, would an array be a better choice? The outer list wouldn't be constrainted to contain only arrays with two elements, but once added the arrays will always be the same size.

Alternatively, you could create a new class containing two ints that you add to a list. The best approach is going to depend on what the data structure actually represents.

Hello Martin,

thanks. This is what I need.

I tried to use this:

data.add(Arrays.asList(1,2));

But it does not work.

Your solution works and the size is limited to 2:

data.add(new int[]{12, 85});

thanks.
