Array Methods

[sathushan]

I was wondering if someone can help me fix this problem. I am trying to call a method with an array inside it but I think i'm doing it wrong. any assistance is appreciated.

I have this initialized this 2D array in my main class; it is a 3 by 3 array

char[][] outline={{' ',' ',' '},{' ',' ',' '},{' ',' ',' '}};

What I want is to show the below array on the screen. The is the method I want to call is below.

public static void showBoard(char board[][])
{

for(int x=0;x<3;x++)
{
for(int y=0;y<3;y++)
{
System.out.print("["+ board[x][y] +"]");
}
System.out.println();
}
}

How would i call this in my main method?
outline(displayBoard); ?

When you call methods it goes like this: methodName(Parameters);

So when you call that method it would be: showBoard(outline);

[access_level] [static] [return type] identifier ([formal parameters])

Please note that arrays in Java are not objects. You do not call methods on them, though as you seem aware, you can pass them to other methods as arguments.

Yes. Wait, was that for me?
