how to create a two-dimensional 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

// java two dimensional array length example
public class TwoDimensionalArrayLength
{
   public static void main(String[] args) 
   {
      int[][] arrNumber = { 
              { 1, 3, 5 },
              { 7, 9, 2 },
              { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } };
      System.out.println("Java two dimensional array length: " + arrNumber.length);
   }
}
