digitalmars.D.learn - correct way to set a dynamic 2d array?

int[][] dynamic;

dynamic.length = width;

for (int i = 0; i < dynamic.length; i++)
    dynamic[i].length = height;

Just seems a bit weird.

Currently, yes. Though it could also be written as ... int[][] dynamic; dynamic.length = width; foreach (inout int[] x; dynamic) x.length = height; -- Derek Melbourne, Australia 31/05/2005 2:33:02 PM

can't you just say this? dynamic[].length = height;

No. You get this message ... slice expression dynamic[] is not a modifiable lvalue -- Derek Melbourne, Australia 31/05/2005 4:46:02 PM

Isn't this something that would be possible with array vectorization? I'd really love this syntax..
