I'm new to java programming and I can't wrap my head around one final question in one of my assignments.
We were told to create a static method that would search a 2-D array and compare the numbers of the 2-D array to an input number...so like this:
private static int[] searchArray(int[][] num, int N){
Now, the part what we're returning is a new one-dimensional array telling the index of the first number in each row that is bigger than the parameter variable N. If no number is bigger than N, then a -1 is returned for that position of the array.
So for example a multi-dimensional array named "A":
4 5 6
8 3 1
7 8 9
2 0 4
If we used this method and did searchArray(A, 5) the answer would be "{2,0,0,-1)"
