4,269 PointsWhat have I done wrong ? I am getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error
I have searched some time on the web and couldn't find anything
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public static class MathHelpers
{
public static int[][] BuildMultiplicationTable(int maxFactor)
{
int[][] Multiplication = new int[maxFactor + 1][];
for(int index = 0; index < Multiplication.Length; index++)
{
if (index == 0)
{
for(int value = 0; value < Multiplication[index].Length; value++)
{
Multiplication[index][value] = 0;
}
}
else if(index == 1)
{
for(int value = 0; value < Multiplication[index].Length; value++)
{
Multiplication[index][value] = value;
}
}
else
{
for(int value = 0; value < Multiplication[index].Length; value++)
{
if (value == 0)
{
Multiplication[index][value] = 0;
}
else if (value == 1)
{
Multiplication[index][value] = value;
}
else
{
Multiplication[index][value] = value * Multiplication[1][value];
}
}
}
}
return Multiplication;
}
}
}

231,269 PointsYou're close, but you only created one dimension of the array. On or about line 10, you need to create the arrays for the second dimension:
Multiplication[index] = new int[maxFactor + 1]; // create 2d arrays
