Initialize 2D array

Question

I am trying to initialize a 2D array, in which the type of each element is char. So far, I can only initialize this array in the follow way.

public class ticTacToe  { private char[][] table;  public ticTacToe() {     table[0][0] = '1';     table[0][1] = '2';     table[0][2] = '3';     table[1][0] = '4';     table[1][1] = '5';     table[1][2] = '6';     table[2][0] = '7';     table[2][1] = '8';     table[2][2] = '9'; } } 

I think if the array is 10*10, it is the trivial way. Is there any efficient way to do that?

Answer 1

Shorter way is do it as follows:

private char[][] table = {{'1', '2', '3'}, {'4', '5', '6'}, {'7', '8', '9'}};
