Is there a way to organize an array to look like a 2D array?

> arr[row * WIDTH + col] = 42;

-sorry but I don't understand what this code does. Can you explain it to me how it can make my array look like a 2D array?

Here's my current array:

-I'm trying to make it look like a 2D array

String[] test = {

"3", "TaskTracker", "Add undo", "Active", "Unassigned",

"Feature", "1.0", "3 - Fix if time", "", "", "Gary",

"6-9-2006", "" ,

"2", "TaskTracker", "Icons need to be cleaned up", "Active",

"Unassigned", "Improvement", "1.0", "1 - Must Fix", "", "",

"Gary", "15-7-2006", "" ,

"1", "TaskTracker", "Clear doesn't clear the title", "Closed",

"Alex", "Bug", "1.0", "1 - Must Fix", "22-6-2006", "1 day",

"Sam", "3-6-2006", "..."

};

You have been given not only a solution, but it is the solution. You need to create a class to represent one of the rows of the array. That is the only way.

something like Task class

import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

class Task

{

private int number;

private String taskName;

private String functionality;

private String activity;

private String AssignedTo;

private String feature;

private double cost;

private String priority;

private String toBeAssigned1;

private String toBeAssigned2;

private String director;

private GregorianCalendar startDate;

private String toBeAssigned3;

public Task(int number, String taskName, String functionality,

String activity, String assignedTo, String feature,

double cost, String priority, String toBeAssigned1,

String toBeAssigned2, String director,

GregorianCalendar startDate, String toBeAssigned3)

{

this.number = number;

this.taskName = taskName;

this.functionality = functionality;

this.activity = activity;

AssignedTo = assignedTo;

this.feature = feature;

this.cost = cost;

this.priority = priority;

this.toBeAssigned1 = toBeAssigned1;

this.toBeAssigned2 = toBeAssigned2;

this.director = director;

this.startDate = startDate;

this.toBeAssigned3 = toBeAssigned3;

}

}

now make arrays out of objects of that class. THAT is what you are supposed to do.

The objects go here:

import java.util.Calendar;

import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

public class ArrayOfClass

{

private static final int TASK_COUNT = 3;

private Task[] tasks = new Task[TASK_COUNT];

public ArrayOfClass()

{

tasks[0] = new Task(3, "TaskTracker", "Add undo", "Active", "Unassigned",

"feature", 1.0, "3 - Fix if time", "", "", "Gary",

new GregorianCalendar(2006, Calendar.SEPTEMBER, 6), "");

tasks[1] = new Task(2, "TaskTracker", "Icons need to be cleaned up", "Active",

"Unassigned", "Improvenet", 1.0, "1 - Must Fix", "", "",

"Gary", new GregorianCalendar(2006, Calendar.OCTOBER, 15), "");

tasks[2] = new Task( 1, "TaskTracker", "Clear doesn't clear the title", "Closed",

"Alex", "Bug", 1.0, "1 - Must Fix", "22-6-2006", "1 day",

"Sam", new GregorianCalendar(2006, Calendar.APRIL, 6), "..." );

}

}

Lord, I hate spoon feeding.
