I am in Java programming 1 using the Ivor Horton's Beginning Java 2 sdk 1.4 Edition. This is a really good book except for multi-demensional array's.

For example:

float[][] example;
example = new float[6][];

This is supposed to declare an array with an X axis of 6 and a Y axis of whatever, but it dosen't work.

I am also using J# to write my program and am having to do this

int[][] a_intArray;
a_intArray = new int[][]
{
        {},
        {0,152,624,29,43,87},
 {0,21,79,425,143,76,92},
 {0,89,76},
 {0,43,27,53,85,76,90},
 {0,34,56,78,14,834},
 {0,90,2,47,324,62,89,53},
 {0,14,70,81}
};

This works, but isn't what is in the book.Why dosen't what the book say work? Is it J# or am I doing it wrong?
