Way to predefine/inline define an array of arrays?

[JesseParticipant]

is there a way to define an array of arrays? something like in monkey1.
I tried this but it doesn’t work:

Global data:String[][] = New String[][]([“cat”,”dog”],[“monkey”,”parrot”])

you can have multidimensional arrays Myarr[x,x] or arrays of arrays Myarr[][] depending on what you need.
multidimensional arrays are much simpler.
you can directly initialize simple arrays only.

simple and multidimentionnal arrays are explained in the latest docs (in github) but the arrays of arrays are not explained (see link)
http://monkey2.monkey-x.com/forums/topic/syntax-for-array-of-arrays-jagged-array/

an example of multidimentionnal array:

Monkey

[crayon-5cba1553bec52563384396 inline="true" ]#Import "<std>" Using std.. Function Main() Local strs:=New String[2,2] strs[0,0]="hip" strs[0,1]="hop" strs[1,0]="get" strs[1,1]="hype" Print strs[1,0] End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

[crayon-5cba1553bec52563384396 inline="true" ]#Import "<std>"   Using std..   Function Main() Local strs:=New String[2,2] strs[0,0]="hip" strs[0,1]="hop" strs[1,0]="get" strs[1,1]="hype" Print strs[1,0] End

I know how to fill it one item at a time. I just don’t know how how to or if there is a way to do it in a single instruction.

you can only predefine simple arrays so it will take two lines with your array of array example([][]). With a multidimensional([,]) array it’s not possible at all for now.

this is the most you can have for now i think..

Monkey

[crayon-5cba1553c3f25441934868 inline="true" ]#Import "<std>" Using std.. Function Main() Local t:=New String[][2] t[0]=New string[]("cat","dog") t[1]=New string[]("ape","monkey") Print t[1][0] End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

[crayon-5cba1553c3f25441934868 inline="true" ]#Import "<std>"   Using std..   Function Main()   Local t:=New String[][2] t[0]=New string[]("cat","dog") t[1]=New string[]("ape","monkey") Print t[1][0] End

That’s exactly what I didn’t want to do. I guess I’ll have to settle for that.
Thanks.

New String[][]([“cat”,”dog”],[“monkey”,”parrot”])

AFAIK there is no such syntax, and I would like to have it too.

I second that.

BTW: I’ve seen that there are two kinds of multidimensional arrays?

Monkey

Local arr1[,] = New Int[10,10] Local arr2[][] = New Int[][10]

1 2	Local arr1[,] = New Int[10,10] Local arr2[][] = New Int[][10]

Why is that?

@xaron
New Int[10,10] is a multi-dimensional 10×10 array.

New Int[][10] is an array of arrays, and each array can be different in size:

Monkey

#Import "<std>" Using std.. Function Main() Local arr:=New Int[][3] arr[0] = New Int[2] ' create new Int-Array with 2 slots (0 and 1) arr[1] = New Int[4] ' create new Int-Array with 4 slots (0 to 3) arr[2] = New Int[6] ' create new Int-Array with 6 slots (0 to 5) arr[0][1] = 2 arr[1][3] = 4 arr[2][5] = 6 Print arr[0][1] Print arr[1][3] Print arr[2][5] End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

#Import "<std>"   Using std..   Function Main()       Local arr:=New Int[][3]       arr[0] = New Int[2] ' create new Int-Array with 2 slots (0 and 1)     arr[1] = New Int[4] ' create new Int-Array with 4 slots (0 to 3)     arr[2] = New Int[6] ' create new Int-Array with 6 slots (0 to 5)       arr[0][1] = 2     arr[1][3] = 4     arr[2][5] = 6       Print arr[0][1]     Print arr[1][3]     Print arr[2][5]   End

This works…

Monkey

Function Main() Local t:=New String[][]( New String[]( "Cat","Dog" ), New String[]( "Kitten","Puppy" ) ) For Local x:=Eachin t For Local y:=Eachin x Print y Next Next End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

Function Main()   Local t:=New String[][]( New String[]( "Cat","Dog" ), New String[]( "Kitten","Puppy" ) ) For Local x:=Eachin t For Local y:=Eachin x Print y Next Next End
