InvalidCastException

Hello! I'm having trouble translating the C# from the Cellular Automata tutorial into Javascript. I've built a constructor inside my function that creates a nested array variable called matrix. Then I have a series of for loops that first assign each cell in the nested array a number value (1 or 0) and then draw a cube in a location in the game world based on the corresponding cell's value and location in the nested array.

Unfortunately, Unity seems to be having issues with the casting of my nested array variable.

Here's my code. // Declaring/typing variables var w: int; var h: int; var x: int; var y: int; var fill: float;

 function Update() {
     if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) {
         GenerateMap(w, h);
     };
 };
 
 function GenerateMap(width, height) {
     var matrix = new array(width);
     for (x = 0; x < width; x++) {
         matrix[x] = new array(height);
     };
     for (x = 1; x < width - 1 ; x++) {
         for (y = 1; y < height - 1; y++) {
             if (x == 1 || x == width - 1 || y == 1 || y == height - 1) {
                  matrix[x][y] = 1;
             };
             else if (Random.value < fill.value) {
                 matrix[x][y] = 0;
             };
             else {
                 matrix[x][y] = 1;
             };
         };
     };
     for (x = 1; x < width - 1; x++) {
         for (y = 1; y < height - 1; y++) {
             if (matrix[x][y] == 1) {
                 Gizmos.color = Color.black;
             };
             else {
                 Gizmos.color = Color.white;
             };
             var pos = new Vector3();
             Gizmos.DrawCube(Vector3.one, Vector3.one);
         };
     };
 };

The error comes at line 15, where Unity gets the matrix variable. The exact error is

InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type. CaveGenerator.GenerateMap (System.Object width, System.Object height) (at Assets/Scripts/CaveGenerator.js:15) CaveGenerator.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/CaveGenerator.js:10)

I would really appreciate any insight into the problem here.
