  Hello everyone!

I need to create a two-dimensional array in this way, for 
example:


auto x = 10;
auto y = 10;
auto some_array = new string[x][y];


auto some_array = new string[][](x, y);

Note, this creates 10 arrays of 10 elements all on the heap, 
and then a 10 element array to point at them.


If you wanted an array of 10 *fixed sized* arrays (which is 
what your code was trying to do), then you need to have the 
first dimension be a compile-time constant such as a literal or 
an enum/immutable.

Thanks!!!
This is what I need!
auto some_array = new string[][](x, y);

What did you want the type of the array to be? "string[10][10]" 
or "string[][]"?

you can't. use static constructor.

Oops, I did not see some of the details, how to work with 
string[][]. Right now I still try to understand. Sorry. Thanks 
for the push! :)
