Wait, this IS the same as C, isn't it? So maybe this is just a "new" problem for me since I rarely-if-ever use hardcoded arrays...
Yes, I think that is right. The only difference is if you specify a NON-square array, D requires you specify in the opposite order from how you will index (as Jonathan said). In C you specify in the same order.
But for square arrays (dynamic or otherwise), I think it works exactly the same.
To me, the D way is more consistent and easier to explain because of the consistency. Any time you see T[], whether T is some basic type or an array itself, then you have an array of Ts. So int[5][4] is an array of 4 int[5]'s
Maybe my brain is just melting.
It is recovering from using C ;) -Steve
