Creating an Array of existing Objects Java

Question

I'm not sure whether this is even possible or not... I'm only starting to program in Java.

So my question is. I created this multidimensional array which contains objects.

Could you please check it and see what am I doing wrong?

Object data[][] = 
{"Item#1", jackets.getDescription(), jackets.getUnitOnHand(), jackets.getPrice(0) }
{"Item#2", designerJeans.getDescription(), designerJeans.getUnitOnHand(), designerJeans.getPrice(0)};

Could you tell me whats wrong in the above code?

This should probably be a `Map`, where clothing is an `interface` that captures the contract of your clothing items. — Boris the Spider, Jan 11 '14 at 15:15

You need to use another more { and } and also have to use a comma in between like {}, {}

For example:

Object data[][] = {{"2","3"},{"1","2"}};
                  ^         ^         ^

int[][][] threeDimArr = { { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } }, { { 5, 6 }, { 7, 8 } } };

(Initialising a multidimensional array in Java)

So obviously you have to add outer brackets.

This question looks like a duplicate; you should flag to close instead of posting the link as an answer – John Dvorak Jan 11 '14 at 15:12

Object data[][] = 
{
    {"Item#1", jackets.getDescription(), //... },
    {"Item#2", designerJeans.getDescription(), //...}
};

You need to encapsulate the sub arrays into the array:

Object data[][] = {{"Item#1", jackets.getDescription(), jackets.getUnitOnHand(), jackets.getPrice(0)},
    {"Item#2", designerJeans.getDescription(), designerJeans.getUnitOnHand(), designerJeans.getPrice(0)}};
