Hi, i have a question! I want to create multiple arrays depending on users input! lets say i wanna create 5 arrays x=0 while(x5) { char[] |__| = new char[10]; } my question is how do i make up names? for it.. if i put i in there it doesnt recognize it! Thanks in advance!

Well it is screwed up a little let me write again while(x islessthan 5) { char[] ? = new char[]; } I ment if i put 'x' there it doesnt work, gives me error.. thanks

I'm not exaclty sure what your trying to do, but I think your getting the error because your trying to name the array with an integer... thru each iteration your going to get: char[] 0 = new char[]; char[] 1 = new char[]; char[] 2 = new char[]; and so on... and I think you may need to declare the length or else set to null.. char[] x=null; -or- char[] x=new char[10];

Try this: First, you should declare an empty array. After that, user has to declare how many elements this array should have (let's say 5 elements, you can enter that value from keyboard). Then, you will have to create a new array with desired number of elements and, finally, make old array equal to the new array. I believe that following code should work: int numberOfElements; char[][] initialField = null; numberOfElements = 5; if( numberOfElements > 0 ) { char[][] newFieldSizedByUser = new char[numberOfElements][10]; initialField = newFieldSizedByUser; } Is far as I know, you have to use both arrays (you can't do that with only one array).
