I'm trying to create a multidimensional array to hold a generated grid. The problem is I'm used to doing this in java, but doing it in javascript is deceptively harder. I know there are arrays of arrays rather than the standard java style and this is what is causing the confusion.
So in Java I'd expect to do this:
private static int[][] anyGrid(int rows, int cols) {
int[][] grid = new int[rows][cols];
return grid;
}
Say rows and cols were variables of 3. What would happen, is that would create something like this:
grid is:
[0,0][0,1][0,2]
[1,0][1,1][1,2]
[2,0][2,1][2,2]
But the actual entries would be empty.
So if I wanted to access the first entry I'd do:
grid[0][0], except this would be empty, unless I went grid[0][0] = 1; for example.
However doing this in javascript I'm at a loss.
var grid = new Array(new Array(cols));
Simply produces an array: grid[0][0]-grid[0][5]. So one array with an internal array of length 6.
Which is.. not quite what I'm after.
How would I make it so that it is empty, but multidimensional beyond the first row?
Thank you
