9.2 Accessing Multidimensional Array Elements 579

There are three rows in cars: the first row has three columns, and the second

and third rows have two columns each. Line 22 retrieves the array element

at row 1 and column 0—here sportsCar—and assigns it to the Auto object

reference retrievedCar, which is then printed at lines 25–26, where toString

is called implicitly. Figure 9.5 shows the output of this example.
