    You should edit your post with the question/answer for people who find this through google.

    There's nothing worse spending hours searching for an answer on google when all you find are forum topics with people who respond with

    Just google it
    or

    nvm, sorry figured it out

    For those wanting the answer, a 2D array is essentially an array of arrays, where in each element of the outer array points to a different inner array.
    It is declared like such:
    Code:
    int[][] myArray = new int[SizeOfOuterArray][SizeOfInnerArray];
    Multidimensional arrays have a wide range of uses, but 2D arrays lend themselves exceptionally well to situations where you would organize the information as a grid. You can also add more than 2 dimensions to a multidimensional array.

    Consider the grid:
    Code:
    A B C
    D E F
    G H I
    Let's imagine this is the visual representation of a char[3][3] array. Element[0][0] is A, and element [2][2] is I, and so on.
