Jagged array with mixed type elements

Questions & Answers
1

Is it possible to declare a jagged array that contains both strings and ints?

I currently have a string array, but I would like some of the elements to ints.
I have declared it like this:

public string [][] myArray;

void Start(){

string [][] myArray = new string[5][];
myArray [0] = new string[]{"String", "String" "Number", "Number"};

}

If I could have mixed elements I wouldn’t have to go trough all the converting back and forth between string/int

Maybe you could create a struct for it?

public struct StringInt {
    public int myInt;
    public string myString;
}

@gjf It’s used to store character stats mostly, but the first two elements will be strings.

@leafypixiestix I’m not sure if using a struct will be as easy when I need to access the different elements, there’s quite a few of them.

At the moment I’m using int.Parse / int.toString() to change the different elements. It’s not a big problem I’d just like to save myself the trouble :stuck_out_tongue:
