Hi all, I'm actually equating a 2D array from a class to another class. I call it using method call. However, it seems like the 2D array is empty after I equate it to another 2D array in another class. May I know where is the problem?

I actually want the stored values in the 2D array in line 96, to be brought over to the 2D array in line 203. I used method call in line 152 and 153 to return the 2D array myDouble, and equate the method call to the 2D array in line 203. However, I realised my 2D array in line 96 is empty after it is out of the for loop. May I know how can I still store the values in it and call it elsewhere even when it is out of the for loop?

Because you are using iterator but you never increase value of x and y you are using in the loop.

Insert y=0; before line 92
Insert y++; after line 96
Insert x++; before line 98

Ya okay that is done. But when I access my 2D array out of that loop it doesn't work anymore.

So did you print it out after the loop to see that the value exists? If yes, but when you call it from other class, what error you got?

If there is still a problem, you could try to create a copy of the array and return it.

I print it out of the loop, but it only print 0.0

I tried making a copy of the array, but isn't it the same? Hmmm, it just can't seem to work.

I have answered your same question here...
