SOS, i need help.

Why does it not work? Math.cs(9,16): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `int' Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public static class MathHelpers
    {

        public static int[][] BuildMultiplicationTable(int maxFactor)
        {
            int m1= maxFactor+1;
                int[][] BuildMultiplicationTable1 = new int[m1][];
                BuildMultiplicationTable[0] = new int[m1];
            for(int rowIndex = 0; rowIndex < BuildMultiplicationTable1.Length; rowIndex++)
            {

                for(int colIndex = 0; colIndex < BuildMultiplicationTable1[rowIndex].Length; colIndex++)
                {

                    maxFactor[rowIndex][colIndex] = rowIndex*colIndex;

                }
            }   
            return BuildMultiplicationTable1;


        }

    }
}

:point_right: A few issues stand out:

  • on line 8 you forgot the semicolon at the end of the assignment statement
  • on line 10 you have the name of the function where you probably meant to use the name of the array
  • on line 17 you attempt to subscript the ordinary integer maxFactor (where you probably also want the array)

In the previous videos , there is no c# function tutorial. I don't really what to do. Could you just post the corrected code for me?

What happens in line 17? It said there is a error in line 9 ,whic is"Math.cs(9,16): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `int' Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings". I am sorry that i think even u don't really know what to do.

The error that says "Unexpected symbol `int'" on line 9 is caused by the problem in my first hint:

:point_right: on line 8 you forgot the semicolon at the end of the assignment statement.

You really won't know if my hints are good until you try them.

I added. It is still same. It said i need to remove the int in line 9. after i removed the the int, it said i need to remove the []. If i am going to remove the [] ,this is not longer be a array any more. Could u just try to run the correct code and make sure u r right?
