C++ - Too Many Initializers for Arrays

Question

I have made an array like this but then it keeps saying I had too many initializers. How can I fix this error?

        int people[6][9] = {{0,0,0,0,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,0,0,0}};

Answer 1

The issue here is that you have the rows/columns indices swapped in the array declaration part, and thus the compiler is confused.

Normally when declaring a multi-dimensional array, first index is for rows, second is for columns.

This form should fix it:

   int people[9][6] = {{0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0}};
