how to declare multidimensional array in java code example

Example 1: Multidimensional array in java

// two dimensional string array in java example
public class TwoDimensionalStringArray 
{
   public static void main(String[] args) 
   {
      String[][] animals = {
              { "Lion", "Tiger", "Cheetah" },
              { "Deer", "Jackal", "Bear" },
              { "Hyena", "Fox", "Elephant" } };
      for(int a = 0; a < animals.length; a++) 
      {
         System.out.print(animals[a][0] + " ");
         for(int b = 1; b < animals[a].length; b++) 
         {
            System.out.print(animals[a][b] + " ");
         }
         System.out.println();
      }
   }
}

Example 2: Multidimensional array in java

// how to fill a 2d array java
public class Fill2dArrayExample
{
   public static void main(String[] args) 
   {
      int[][] arrNumbers = new int[3][3];
      for(int a = 0; a < 3; a++)
      {
         for(int b = 0; b < 3; b++)
         {
            arrNumbers[a][b] = (int) (Math.random() * 6) ;
         }
      }
      for(int x = 0; x < 3; x++)
      {
         for(int y = 0; y < 3; y++)
         {
            System.out.print(arrNumbers[x][y] + " ");
         }
         System.out.println();
      }
   }
}

Example 3: two dimensional array in java example program

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

        int[][] a = {
            {1, -2, 3}, 
            {-4, -5, 6, 9}, 
            {7}, 
        };
      
        for (int i = 0; i < a.length; ++i) {
            for(int j = 0; j < a[i].length; ++j) {
                System.out.println(a[i][j]);
            }
        }
    }
}
