2 Dimensional Array problems

[Maig]

I'm trying to write a simple game program. I'm having trouble with two methods, one I want to return the number of rows in the array and one I want to return the number of columns in the array. I don't know how to do this. The array is a char array and I want the number of rows to be returned as an int. I just want it to count up the number of rows (or columns) in the array and return that number. The name of the array is grid.

public int numOfColumns()
{
return grid.length;
}

I know the above is wrong because it only counts the rows, not the columns.

Well, I figured that question out but now I have a new problem. I have a class called CoordinatePairs, which is a simple class that has rows and columns, accessor methods for each and set methods for each. What I need to do is use this CoordinatePairs class in my Array class to set a value in a specific location in the Array. I do not know how to code this...

public void setSpecificCoordinates(CoordinatePair coordsToSet, char valueToSet)
{
coordsToSet = grid[][]; // all wrong, I know
vauleToSet =
}

I really need some help with this one.

 char [][] grid;

public void setSpecificCoordinates(CoordinatePair coordsToSet, char valueToSet)
{
	grid[coordsToSet.getX ()][coordsToSet.getY ()] = vauleToSet;
} 

public void setSpecificCoordinates (int x, int y, char valueToSet)
{
	grid[x][y] = vauleToSet;
}
