DWORD is 'double word', not 'two numbers'. :-)

Solution 2

Don't give up, cheat on the compiler:

C++

struct DWORD
{
  int x,y;
};
static DWORD Array[5][4] =
{
 {  { 0 ,  1}, { 1 ,  4}, { 2 ,  5}, { 3 ,  6}, },
 {  { 4 , 25}, { 0 ,  2}, { 1 ,  9}, { 2 , 10}, },
 {  { 3 , 11}, { 4 , 26}, { 0 ,  3}, { 1 , 13}, },
 {  { 2 , 14}, { 3 , 15}, { 4 , 23}, { 0 ,  4}, },
 {  { 1 , 17}, { 2 , 18}, { 3 , 19}, { 4 , 22}, },
};

That's because there are too many initializers :P

You are specifying the array as 5x4, yet you have initializers 20x2

Either use static DWORD 2DArray[20][2] = or change the initializer like so:

C++

static DWORD 2DArray[5][4] =
{
    { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 }  
    { 1 , 1 , 2 , 3 } 
    { 2 , 1 , 2 , 3 }  
    { 3 , 1 , 2 , 3 } 
    { 4 , 1 , 2 , 3 } 
}

EDIT: Perhaps you meant:

C++

static DWORD 3DArray[4][5][2] =
{// there are 4 x 2DArray[5][2]
    {// there are 5 x Array[2]
       { 0 , 1 },  // this is an int[2]
       { 1 , 4 },  
       { 2 , 5 },   
       { 3 , 6 },   
       { 4 , 25 }
    },
    {
       { 0 , 2 },  { 1 , 9 }, { 2 , 10}, { 3 , 11}, { 4 , 26 }
    },
    {
       { 0 , 3 },  { 1 , 13}, { 2 , 14}, { 3 , 15}, { 4 , 23 }
    },
    {
       { 0 , 4 },  { 1 , 17}, { 2 , 18}, { 3 , 19}, { 4 , 22 }
    }
}

You don't need the first digit if these are the real numbers as they relate to the index anyway.

I would suggest:

C++

static DWORD 3DArray[4][5] =
{// there are 4 x 2DArray[5]
    {// there are 5 x int
        1, 4, 5, 6, 25 },
    { 2 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 26 },
    { 3 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 23 },
    { 4 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 22 }
}
