I have a string array which looks like:
String[] rows = {"AAA","BBB","CCC"};
How can I get a specific index of a certain row?
If I do rows[6] i get an out of bounds ex.
However when I do rows[2] i get the entire CCC string.
Do I have to get the row first, then get a specific char? Or can I not just grab it from the array?
Use String#charAt(int index) to get the character at the desired index after retrieving the string element, e.g.:
String[] rows = {"AAA","BBB","CCC"};
System.out.println(rows[2].charAt(2)); // C
If you want to (and if you really have to), you can concatenate all elements using a StringBuilder so that the result is AAABBBCCC, and use StringBuilder#charAt(int index):
String[] rows = {"AAA","BBB","CCC"};
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for(String row : rows) {
sb.append(row);
}
System.out.println(sb.charAt(6)); // C
String[] rows = {"AAA","BBB","CCC"};
is a way of initializing your array with 3 elements at index 0,1 and 2(length 3). So you have to get your String first and you can use chatAt(position).
rows[1].charAt(2) // B
rows[0].charAt(0) // A
rows[6]to return? You've got an array of strings - so when you access that array by index, you do indeed get the whole string - and then you can get the character within that string usingcharAt.B. But seeing as its an array, that was silly to think it would return a single letter...
