How do I use String.Format with a multidimensional array?

char[,] state = new char[3, 3] {
    {'A', ' ', ' '},
    {' ', ' ', ' '},
    {' ', ' ', ' '}
};
//                                    
// used like                          v I want the first column of the first row here
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("  -> {} ", state))

char[,] state = new char[3, 3] {
    {'A', ' ', ' '},
    {' ', ' ', ' '},
    {' ', ' ', ' '}
};
//                                    
// used like                          v I want the first column of the first row here
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("  -> {} ", state))

output should be A

Console.WriteLine($"  -> {state[0, 0]}");

Console.WriteLine($"  -> {state[0, 0]}");

Probably should have clarified, I know I can do that but with 9 elements it gets tedious Just curious if there was a better way

Use a loop then And don't use String.Format() for such simple things

meizufluxOP•2y ago

Already wrote it out

Angius•2y ago

Well, if you have a loop, what doesn't work about it?

meizufluxOP•2y ago

It's more complicated than that, this is just an example No, I mean I already wrote it out by hand

There's very little a String.Format() can do that string interpolation cannot
