  • what is cd a collection of, and how can you be sure that cd[i] is an integer and cd[i+2] is a String array?

Try to change your code to

Map<Integer, List<String>> copyMap = new Map<Integer, List<String>>();
for(iterator=0; iterator<(cd.size()/2); iterator++)
{  
   //copyMap = new Map<Integer, String[]>();
   if(copyMap.contains(cd[iterator])){
      copyMap.get(cd[iterator]).add(cd[iterator+2]);
   }else{
      copyMap.put(cd[iterator], new Map<Integer, List<String>>());
      copyMap.get(cd[iterator]).add(cd[iterator+2]);         
   }
   answerchoices.put(sq.Text_vod__c,copyMap};
}

This my help you out.

  • It is fine but only problem is that I wrote the syntax wrong. Can you please let me know how to put multiple strings in the above String[]? Commented May 12, 2016 at 9:57

  • No What I meant was, copy map will have values like ('1',('X','Z')). Now iterator stands for '1' and cd[iterator] = X, cd[iterator+2] =Z. So how to put X, Z in place of that string[].? Key value in copymap would be iterator only. Commented May 12, 2016 at 10:09
  • Yes I got it try with the updated code.

  • I am sorry I am unable to brief the case properly I guess. in copymap I need to put three values. First One the integer i.e. iterator, Second and third one two string values - cd[iterator],cd[iterator+2]. These two string values will be put to String[] part. Commented May 12, 2016 at 10:15
