1
00:00:00,290 --> 00:00:04,180
Let's talk about multi-dimensional arrays.

2
00:00:04,180 --> 00:00:06,320
They sound kinda out there, don't they?

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,668
Like science-fictiony or time-travely.

4
00:00:08,668 --> 00:00:12,390
Well, don't let the name make it
more difficult than it needs to be.

5
00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:15,170
We're going to explore
two-dimensional arrays,

6
00:00:15,170 --> 00:00:20,100
or 2D arrays,
which is really just an array of arrays.

7
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:23,920
Now the arrays that we've been working
with have been one-dimensional.

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,350
Now 2D arrays are super handy at helping
to describe things in rows and columns.

9
00:00:29,350 --> 00:00:33,310
If you've used a spreadsheet before, you
can definitely imagine this sort of thing.

10
00:00:33,310 --> 00:00:34,600
In fact, why don't we just start there?

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,270
So here I've created some golf
score cards using a Google sheet.

12
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:43,338
And you can see that I have three score
cards here for each of my friends, Ben,

13
00:00:43,338 --> 00:00:44,415
Alena, and Pasan.

14
00:00:44,415 --> 00:00:47,990
They were the same ones at the movies,
we do everything together.

15
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:50,470
So these are rows, right?

16
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:54,330
Each one of these is a row,
and this is a column, right?

17
00:00:54,330 --> 00:00:55,940
So this is a column.

18
00:00:55,940 --> 00:01:00,100
And if I wanna talk about a specific one
of those cells, I can reference it, right?

19
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:04,040
So this one here, you can see is B2, and

20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,847
this one here is B3, and C3, right?

21
00:01:08,847 --> 00:01:14,138
Now as we saw with our Ben score card
array, we were able to represent this row,

22
00:01:14,138 --> 00:01:20,630
Ben's row here, we were able
to represent this as an array.

23
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:24,500
But what we're getting at is that
we wanna have these other two cards

24
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:25,510
in the same array.

25
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:30,748
So now what we wanna do is we wanna
make a new array that has all of this,

26
00:01:30,748 --> 00:01:36,260
it's gonna have all of these,
each entry is an array.

27
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:40,900
So, let's turn this
spreadsheet into an array.

28
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:45,170
In the teacher's notes, I've pasted
each of these rows as an array literal.

29
00:01:45,170 --> 00:01:48,830
I wanna show you how to create this and
then I want to explore it a bit.

30
00:01:48,830 --> 00:01:53,080
So, first let get it into JShell so
we can play with it.

31
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,710
But I don't know about you,
but I make mistakes.

32
00:01:57,710 --> 00:02:02,149
So, one nice trick when making multiple
line statement in JShell just to create

33
00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:04,771
a temporary file and
then have JShell read it.

34
00:02:04,771 --> 00:02:06,230
Here, let me show you.

35
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:10,301
So, in our workspace,
I am gonna create a new file, and

36
00:02:10,301 --> 00:02:13,260
I'm just gonna call it scratch.java.

37
00:02:13,260 --> 00:02:16,060
And we'll use this as
the scratch pad of sorts,

38
00:02:16,060 --> 00:02:19,670
right, whenever we want
to import things here.

39
00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:21,535
So, let's define our array.

40
00:02:21,535 --> 00:02:28,800
You just declare a normal integer array
and remember we want an array of those.

41
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,650
So you just make one more.

42
00:02:31,650 --> 00:02:38,897
And then we'll name it scoreCards,
so scoreCards.

43
00:02:38,897 --> 00:02:42,310
And then we create our
first array literal.

44
00:02:42,310 --> 00:02:45,596
So we'll say that, and
this is an array, and

45
00:02:45,596 --> 00:02:49,503
now our array is going to
contain arrays of integers.

46
00:02:49,503 --> 00:02:54,380
So, let's copy and past Ben's score
card from the teacher's notes.

47
00:02:54,380 --> 00:03:00,303
So I'm gonna do that and paste Ben's note,
and I'm gonna add a comma,

48
00:03:00,303 --> 00:03:05,457
cuz that's the first row, and
then I'm gonna add Alena's.

49
00:03:10,126 --> 00:03:11,626
And I'm gonna add a comma.

50
00:03:11,626 --> 00:03:15,096
And then I'm going to add Pasan's.

51
00:03:18,142 --> 00:03:22,847
And now if we bring our spreadsheet
over here and we look at it,

52
00:03:22,847 --> 00:03:25,030
we have just the same thing.

53
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:29,762
So we have 1, 2, 4, 2 for Ben,
1, 2, 4, 2 then for Alena,

54
00:03:29,762 --> 00:03:33,475
we have 2, 3, 5, 1 and we have 2, 3, 5, 1.

55
00:03:33,475 --> 00:03:35,900
Cool, and Pasan's 4, 4, 2,
1, 4, 4, 2, 1, awesome.

56
00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:41,520
So now let's get this
imported in the JShell.

57
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,115
So we have a file here,
it's called scratch server, saved it,

58
00:03:45,115 --> 00:03:49,520
also I'm gonna go ahead, I wanna put
a semicolon there as a good citizen.

59
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,399
And I'm gonna run jshell.

60
00:03:54,772 --> 00:03:56,355
Bring this up a bit here.

61
00:03:56,355 --> 00:04:01,521
I'm gonna say /open scratch.java.

62
00:04:04,270 --> 00:04:07,570
And what that does is it runs
this file and it's now available.

63
00:04:07,570 --> 00:04:10,840
So now I have a variable
called scoreCards.

64
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:18,184
And you'll see that here it is,
it's a multidimensional array,

65
00:04:18,184 --> 00:04:25,115
the first one is 3 cuz there's three rows
and each one of the rows has 18 columns.

66
00:04:27,168 --> 00:04:31,659
And remember it really just is
an array of arrays, right, so

67
00:04:31,659 --> 00:04:40,330
if I look at scoreCards.length, We'll see
that it's 3, that's the number of rows.

68
00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:46,027
So, to get the first row we just use
index 0, cuz array is a zero based.

69
00:04:46,027 --> 00:04:50,785
So we'll say score, I'll Ctrl+L here, and

70
00:04:50,785 --> 00:04:55,870
we'll say scoreCards[0], and there we go.

71
00:04:55,870 --> 00:04:57,600
It's the first row.

72
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,100
So this was Ben's score that we pasted,
right?

73
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:01,770
So this is Ben's, this is the first one.

74
00:05:01,770 --> 00:05:05,470
This was Ben, and
the second one here is Alena.

75
00:05:07,180 --> 00:05:11,390
So let's see how she
did on the fourth hole.

76
00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:15,770
So that would be
scoreCards[1] to get Alena.

77
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,790
And then we wanna get the fourth hole,
which again,

78
00:05:19,790 --> 00:05:24,620
because we're zero-based here too,
would be the third index, right?

79
00:05:24,620 --> 00:05:25,692
So we'd say [3].

80
00:05:25,692 --> 00:05:29,320
So right cuz it's for
zero, one, two, three.

81
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:36,930
So we get,
awesome a hole in one nice job Alena.

82
00:05:36,930 --> 00:05:39,240
So now you do that.

83
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:48,050
Let's see, I want you to do this as
show me what Pasan got on the 15th hole.

84
00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:50,090
Remember this is Pasan here.

85
00:05:50,090 --> 00:05:53,920
So go ahead and access that, and
just print it out here in JShell.

86
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,816
Go ahead, pause me.

87
00:05:56,554 --> 00:05:57,632
Did you get it?

88
00:05:57,632 --> 00:06:00,989
So Pasan happens to be

89
00:06:03,702 --> 00:06:08,544
The third row which is index 2 and I want
the 15th hole, so I need to subtract 1

90
00:06:08,544 --> 00:06:12,754
from that to get 14 because both
of those are zero-based, right?

91
00:06:14,625 --> 00:06:18,605
8, come on buddy, keep practicing man,
you'll get better at this golfing,

92
00:06:18,605 --> 00:06:19,779
don't worry Pasan.

93
00:06:19,779 --> 00:06:21,073
I know, let's do this.

94
00:06:21,073 --> 00:06:25,977
Since we have two arrays, the friends
array and the scoreCards array,

95
00:06:25,977 --> 00:06:30,100
why don't we loop and
print out all their scores?

96
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:33,100
Why don't we take a quick break and
let this sink in a bit.

97
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:37,650
Now, taking breaks is a super important
habit to get into for learning.

98
00:06:37,650 --> 00:06:40,690
So, why don't you take a stretch and
get some fresh air.

99
00:06:40,690 --> 00:06:44,780
While you're out, let your brain
wonder about 2D arrays a bit.

100
00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:48,150
Think about how they're just like
the spreadsheet here, right?

101
00:06:48,150 --> 00:06:51,660
They're just like the spreadsheet
with rows and columns.

102
00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:56,977
And think about how you can access
them much like, like here is P4,

103
00:06:56,977 --> 00:07:01,008
this 8 was the same that was row 2,
14, right?

104
00:07:01,008 --> 00:07:03,660
For it to get to Pasan, 2, 14.

105
00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:05,189
It's very similar, right?

106
00:07:05,189 --> 00:07:09,850
One thing that I wanna point out before I
let you go here, you can also add another

107
00:07:09,850 --> 00:07:14,540
dimension to get a 3D array, but
you have to wear glasses to see it.

108
00:07:14,540 --> 00:07:15,630
Just kidding.

109
00:07:15,630 --> 00:07:18,910
But seriously, you can keep appending
them out as far as you'd like, but

110
00:07:18,910 --> 00:07:20,830
it gets weird quick.

111
00:07:20,830 --> 00:07:23,920
So when you come back,
we'll loop over our score card.

112
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:24,524
Sound good?

113
00:07:24,524 --> 00:07:25,150
See you in a bit.
