How to Print a specific point from an array from another method ? #Java -

public class newtest {      public static void main(string[] args)     {         string [][] table;         table = new string [4][4];         for(int y=0; y<4; y++){             for(int x=0; x<4; x++){                 table[y][x] = " ~  " ;             }            }         int y, x;         for(y=0; y<4; y++)         {               system.out.print(y+": ");            for(x=0; x<4; x++)                system.out.print(table[y][x]+" ");            system.out.println();         }                        }     public void table ()     {                      system.out.println(table[2][2]);     } } 

//this line have problems ! system.out.println(table[2][2]);

the problem string [][] table local method declared, , is, therefore, invisible other methods of class.

there 2 ways of making visible:

• make string [][] table static member in enclosing class (because main static), or
• pass string [][] table function parameter.

the second solution better:

// here declaration of method taking 2d table public static void showtablecell(string [][] table) ... ... // here call of method main(): showtablecell(table);
