and the second set of brackets are the columns?

You can declare and initialize brand-new data types and variables in the conditional expression/statement?

for (int N = 0; N < myJaggedArray.GetLength(0); ++N)

Is there some sort of extra C# technique/trick to have the columns line up?

Console.WriteLine("{0}{1,-8} : {2}{3}", gradeScore[0], grades[0, a], gradeScore[1], grades[1, a]);
// field {1} is placed in a field 8 characters wide, left aligned.

// alternatively
Console.WriteLine("Grade={0,-8} : Score={1}", grades[0, a], grades[1, a]);

int x[5];

int x[5][5];

int x[5][];

x[0] = new int[5];
x[1] = new int[2];
....etc...

int x[5][5];
x[22] = 42;
