String array, integer index

Question

class TetrisBoard {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          String board[][] = new String[5][5];
          int column;
          int row;
          char piece;
          String board[][] = {{"| ","| ","| ","| ","| ",},
                                   {"| ","| ","| ","| ","| ",},
                                   {"| ","| ","| ","| ","| ",},
                                   {"| ","| ","| ","| ","| ",},
                                   {"| ","| ","| ","| ","| ",}};
          for(int row = 0; row < board.length; row ++) {
               for(int col = 0; col < board[row].length; col++) {
               System.out.print(board[row][col]);
}hey, this is the code i have. How do i make the indexes be integers, so that board[row][col] is compatible with String board[5][5]? thanks for the help :D

Answer 1

You are declaring the variable 'board' twice. Thats the first problem.
The second is you have to use the array constatant only when initializing the array.
Do this instead
class TetrisBoard {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          String board[][] = new String[][]
               { "| ", "| ", "| ", "| ", "| ", },
               { "| ", "| ", "| ", "| ", "| ", },
               { "| ", "| ", "| ", "| ", "| ", },
               { "| ", "| ", "| ", "| ", "| ", },
               { "| ", "| ", "| ", "| ", "| ", }
