Two Arrays Java

The document defines a 2D array in Java called A with 6 rows and 5 columns. It then explains that a 2D array in Java is actually an array of arrays, with the outer array containing references to the inner arrays. So A is a 1D array of references, with each element referencing a 1D integer array of length 5. This allows 2D array access using two indices, like A[row][column].

A is a reference to a 1 dimensional array of references.


Every element in the one-dimensional array of reference is a reference to an 1 dimensional array of
integers.
