Hi all,

I wanna clarify a trivial but unfound one on google that is the args in :

public static void main(string []args) a multidimensional or a simple 1-D array?

Know the answer? Post it — somebody with the same question will find it here.

It is the same account you read, post and publish with — and you will come straight back to this page.

Accepted answer
args[i][j] is the j'th character of the i'th element of the single dimensional array, args.

So the second set of square brackets here is the indexer of the string element, not the second dimension of a 2-D 'jagged' array.

Ok,then how is it enabling me to do:

for (int i = 1; i < args.Length; i++)

{

for (int j =1; j < args[i].Length; j++)

{
if (args[0] == "encode") {
Console.Write((char)(args[i][j] + 1));

}
else
{...............}

This is giving me desired output as it uses 2-D form

It's a simple one dimensional string array.
