Question

I’m currently translating my java game engine to c#. This is my array mapdata

char[][] mapdata = new char[MAP_WIDTH][MAP_HEIGHT];
                                       ``````````

It shows this error.

Invalid rank specifier: expected ‘,’ or ‘]’ (CS0178) – C:\Users\sriharshachilakapati…ne\Map.cs:74,39

Thanks

Multidimensional arrays are written this way:

char[,] mapdata = new char[width, height];

char[][] is a array in a array, used this way:

char[][] mapdata = new char[width][];
for (int i = 0; i < mapdata.Length; i++)
{
    mapdata[i] = new char[height];
}
