How to hashMap an array in Java?

Java Programming Help, Multi Dimensional Array?

• I making a program that uses a multi dimensional array. Its a program where you can input a student's adress, ID number and name(first multi dimensional array) and a student's prelim, midterm and final grade(second multi dimensional array). Our instructor told us that we can only use two initialized values for the multi dimensional array(MUST HAVE EXACTLY ONLY [][] brackets and not [][][] or [][][][] brackets) for both arrays, and it must not exceed two or become less than two. The data we need to input for both arrays is three(Name, adress and id number for the first array. prelim, midterm and final grade for the second array), how will i suppose to input the three pieces of data, when there are only two values that are initialized in the multi dimensional array?

• Answer:

  make first entry the id number, the second entry a 2-dimensional array. thus for instance for 4 entries: Object[][] array = new Object[4][]; array[0][0] = new String[][]() { "name", "adress street"}; array[1][0] = new String[][]() { "name", "adress street"}; array[2][0] = new String[][]() { "namewww", "adress street"}; array[3][0] = new String[][]() { "name", "adress street"};
