Question

In python, you can do this:

[([None] * 9) for x in range(9)]

and you’ll get this:

[[None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None],
 [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None],
 [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None],
 [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None],
 [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None],
 [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None],
 [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None],
 [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None],
 [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]]

How can I do the equivalent in javascript?

Answer 1

var matrix = [];
for(var i=0; i<9; i++) {
    matrix[i] = new Array(9);
}

… or:

var matrix = [];
for(var i=0; i<9; i++) {
    matrix[i] = [];
    for(var j=0; j<9; j++) {
        matrix[i][j] = undefined;
    }
}
