Hello,

i try to initialize a 3 dimensional Array:

this example is OK.
static int  h[2][3][4] = [ [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]],[[13,14,15,16],
[17,18,19,20],[21,22,23,24]] ];

not OK.
static int[2][3][4] h = [ [[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8],[9,10,11,12]],[[13,14,15,16],
[17,18,19,20],[21,22,23,24]] ];

message: Error: too many initializers 4 for array[2]

Is the second example wrong?

3 dimensional array is what?  Or to what possession of a 3 dimensional array do you refer?

Yes.  When the array dimensions are attached to the type rather than the variable, they go in reverse order.  That is, int[2][3][4] is an array of 4 int[2][3]s.

You therefore want

    static int[4][3][2] h = [
        [[1,2,3,4], [5,6,7,8], [9,10,11,12]],
        [[13,14,15,16], [17,18,19,20], [21,22,23,24]]
    ];

Thank you.
