Array of char and int

[Jensen Ackles]

Hello,
I want to create a matrix containing integers and characters. However in the various examples I have seen tables or matrices presented possess a single type. Is there a solution to my problem? If you guys have a solution for this then please let me know as i am very much interested in this. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The following statement works, but I think it involves storing characters as integers:

int[][] mat = {{1, 2, 3},{4, 'a', 6},{'a', 'b', 'c'}};

It is indeed the case, as shown in the code below:

Public class Test {
	Public static void hand(String[] args) {
		int[][] a = {{1, 2, 3},{4, 'a', 6},{'a', 'b', 'c'}}; 
		
		for(int x =0; x <a.length; x + +)
			for(int y =0J <a[x].lengthJ + +)
				System.out.System.out.println(a[x][y]);
	}
}

Hello,
The above posted is a good solution, another solution is that you can give an object type has your picture, like that you can store what you want in it:
Here is the part of code for the same

Object[][] mat = {{1, 2, 3}, {'a', 'b', 'c'}};

If you have been round with java object and the constructors , then you can pretty easily do this and obtain the required results.

Hello,
Check out the below code, I think this can help you.

Public class Test {
	Public static void hand(String[] args) {
		Object[][] a = {{new Integer(1), new Integer(2), new Integer(3)},{new Character('a'), new Character('b'), new Character('c')}}; 
		
		for(int i =0; I <a.length; I + +)
			for(int y =0J <a[i].lengthJ + +)
				System.out.System.out.println(a[i][y]);
	}
}

Hello,
If I am not wrong since java 5, java manages autoboxing, i.e it automatically converts the type of object bases, so

int a = new Integer (3)

and

Integer b = 2;

and you can use java 5 easily and the instruction are also valid. You can download the java from their official site and install it and use the new packages.

Hello,
I think the perfect osltuion for your problem will be to cast it to int integer value.

(int)matrix[0][0];

More better way to do this is

(Integer)matrix[0][0];

and is normally good way to represent a integer value. If you need any more help regarding this topic then you can post back.
