If I want to create a 3x8 array should I do it using array list or method that is below? I guess my question is which one is easier to handle?

Also is it possible to iterate thought a structure? A structure that has 24 (3X8) items in it? Please give example

Dim numbers = {{11, 21, 31}, {12, 22, 32}, {13, 23, 33}, {14, 24, 34}, {15, 25, 35}, {16, 26, 36}, {17, 27, 37}, {18, 28, 38}}

'Iterate through my 3x8 array
For index0 = 0 To numbers.GetUpperBound(0)
For index1 = 0 To numbers.GetUpperBound(1)

Debug.Write(numbers(index0, index1).ToString & " ")

Yes, you can - but it's nasty to look at...

VB

Dim numbers As Integer(,) = New Integer(,) {{11, 21, 31}, {12, 22, 32}, {13, 23, 33}, {14, 24, 34}, {15, 25, 35}, {16, 26, 36}, _
	{17, 27, 37}, {18, 28, 38}}
For Each i As Integer In numbers
	Console.WriteLine(i)
Next

And it's probably better to use two loops.

ok. since it is better to use two loops i will stick to current way. Thanks.

Well, I think that's really nasty and unobvious...

Member 8525993 30-Oct-13 17:09pm

huh? what is the better way of doing it ??

CPallini 30-Oct-13 17:38pm

I was kidding. However, as Griff noted, using two loops is possibly cleaner.
