Arrays constants can only be used in initializers error

Question

Consider:

public proj 3 {

    static string [][]Item;

    public static void main(String [] args){

        Item[][] = {
             {\"BH,\" , \"Backhoe,         


        

Answer 1

If your target is: 1. declare it somewhere; 2. initialize it somewhere else; 3. still want to use the {...} format. This will work:

public proj 3 {

    static string [][]Item;

    public static void main(String [] args) {

        string[][] _Item = {
             {"BH," , "Backhoe," , "200.00"},
             {"ER," , "Electric Rake," , "10.00"},
             {"EL," , "Electric Lawnmower," , "15.00"},
             {"TR," , "Trencher" , "35.00"},
             {"MU," , "Mulcher," , "20.00"},
             {"TS," , "Tree Sprayer," , "22.00"},
             {"CP," , "Cider Press," , "30.00"},
             {"PR," , "Pruner," , "12.00"},
             {"GE," , "Gas Edger," , "20.00"},
             {"RO," , "Roller," , "8.00"}
        };
        Item = _Item;
