I was just wondering if its possible to loop and when you get a number or whatever you like from that loop to add it to make a new array and add it to that.

For example:

numbers[] goodNumbers = new numbers [3];

can I put something like in the loop:

numbers[] goodNumbers + x = new numbers [3];
x++;

Then whenever i get something that meets criteria, I could use the goodNumbers + x.add(1) , goodNumbers + x.add(2) , goodNumbers + x.add(3)

I don't quite understand what you are trying to do

Im looping through random numbers and when i find the ones that meet my criteria, I would like to create a new array for them so they are remembered. so at the ned of the loop i might have 200 of such arrays that hold 3 numbers each. like: {2,5,6},ect..

Lists have methods like add(), remove(), get(), set(), etc. Arrays do not. You may consider using an ArrayList<Integer> over an array.

I just read about multidimentional arrays which I may be able to use multiple arrays in one like:

int[][] a2 = new int[100][3]; which give me 3 colums and 100 rowns

How would I loop and make new instances of those lists?

Is this about your multiplying matrices project?

[codecook]

Lol, not at all. Its just a puzzle im trying to solve but it involves programming because i will not be able to crunch all those numbers on a calculator.

BTW, Multi-dimentional arrays are perfect for what i need(i hope)

Will every row in your having 3 columns ? In that case array[100][3] will do the job or can array[5] have 2 columns, array[7] 3 colomns, array[45] 1 column ?

by the sounds of it a List is going to be what you need. Because if you pull out certain elements from your array you will have 2 different size arrays. Not always a problem, but if you use multidimensional arrays You will have to add a test to see if there is a number for a given index. But if you use a list you can just get the size of the list and do what you need to do with it.
