2,342 PointsLooping through a 3D jagged array
Trying to follow the example for the jagged array, but I'm getting NullReferenceException for my second for loop.
Cell[][][] threeDimensions = new Cell[100][][];
for (int i = 0; i < threeDimensions.Length; i++)
{
threeDimensions[i] = new Cell[10][];
for (int y = 0; y < threeDimensions[i].Length; y++)
{
threeDimensions[i][y] = new Cell[10];
for (int x = 0; x < threeDimensions[x].Length; x++)
{
threeDimensions[i][y][x] = new Cell();
}
}
}

2,342 PointsI did it in Visual Studios rather than workspace. I actually noticed the problem and fixed it myself, leaving the code here if someone else gets stuck :)
namespace Collections
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Cell[][][] threeDimensions = new Cell[100][][];
for (int i = 0; i < threeDimensions.Length; i++)
{
threeDimensions[i] = new Cell[10][];
for (int y = 0; y < threeDimensions[i].Length; y++)
{
threeDimensions[i][y] = new Cell[10];
for (int x = 0; x < threeDimensions[i][y].Length; x++)
{
threeDimensions[i][y][x] = new Cell();
}
}
}
}
class Cell
{
public string Contents { get; set; }
}
}

231,198 PointsFor the benefit of anyone who doesn't immediately spot the difference, the innermost "for" loop is missing a dimension and has an incorrect index in the conditional clause:
for (int x = 0; x < threeDimensions[x].Length; x++) // original
for (int x = 0; x < threeDimensions[i][y].Length; x++) // fixed

231,198 PointsIt would be easier to analyze the issue with the entire project. To share that, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
