So the first pair of square-brackets is the column and second is 
the row as you said above, but look what happens when I try to 
access thinking that way:

void main(){
	int[2][1] arr; // 2 columns & 1 row as Ali said...
	
	arr[0][0] = 1;
	arr[1][0] = 2;
}

ERROR:

/d609/f167.d(14): Error: array index 1 is out of bounds arr[0 .. 
1]
/d609/f167.d(14): Error: array index 1 is out of bounds arr[0 .. 
1]


So now the first pair of brackets in fact is the ROW and the 
second is the COLUMN, because this works:

void main(){
	int[2][1] arr; // 2 columns & 1 row
	
	arr[0][0] = 1;
	arr[0][1] = 2;
}

Maybe I'm really dumb, but you need to agree that even with your 
good explanation it still doesn't making sense.
