[Solved] C++ – Too Many Initializers for Arrays

Solution #1:

int people[6][9] =
{
    {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
    {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
    {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
    {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
    {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
    {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},
};

Arrays in C are in the order rows then columns, so there are 6 rows of 9 integers, not 9 rows of 6 integers in the initializer for the array you defined.

Solution #2:

The issue here is that you have the rows/columns indices swapped in the array declaration part, and thus the compiler is confused.

Normally when declaring a multi-dimensional array, first index is for rows, second is for columns.

This form should fix it:

   int people[9][6] = {{0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0},
                    {0,0,0,0,0,0}};

Solution #3:

You mixed the 6 and the 9 in the indexes.
