So, I'm at the first challenge from C# Collection, and the my code doesn't seem to compile. Can anyone explain why? Many thanks in advance!
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public static class MathHelpers
{
public static int[][] BuildMultiplicationTable(int maxFactor)
{
int result;
Cell[][] table = new Cell[maxFactor][];
for(int rowIndex = 0; rowIndex < maxFactor; rowIndex++){
for(int colIndex = 0; colIndex < maxFactor; colIndex++ ){
result = rowIndex*colIndex;
table[rowIndex][colIndex] = result;
return table[rowIndex][colIndex];
}
}
}
}
class Cell{
public int Contents{ get; set;}
}
}

- the dimensions need to go up to and including "maxFactor"
- remember to initialize the individual rows
- don't return until the loops finish building the table
- return the whole table instead of one item from it
