Well, there are two different types:
-
Array of array (jagged array):
float[][] sample = new float[][] { new float[] {1, 2, 3}, new float[] {4, 5}, // notice that lines are not necessary of the same length };
-
2d array:
float[,] sample2 = new float[,] { {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, };
Edit: your code amended:
// jagged array (10 arrays each of which has 5 items)
float[][] inputs = new float[10][] {
new float[5],
new float[5],
new float[5],
new float[5],
new float[5],
new float[5],
new float[5],
new float[5],
new float[5],
new float[5],
};
You can shorten the declaration with a help of Linq:
float[][] inputs = Enumerable
.Range(0, 10) // 10 items
.Select(i => new float[5]) // each of which is 5 items array of float
.ToArray(); // materialized as array
Or in case of 2d array
// 2d array 10x5
float[,] inputs = new float[10,5];
