>You're not using correct syntax. The first problem line, auto numbers3 = [ 1, 2, 3, 4][];, doesn't work because you forgot a comma. I think you want auto to be evaluated as int[][], however, you have two arrays without a comma seperator. It should be like this:

I was trying create a dynamic array of ints in the same way that
"hello"[] creates a dynamic array of chars. Maybe I'm mixing up array
and string syntaxes?
