Array types¶

An array can be one dimensional or multi-dimensional.

In one dimensional array, each element is represented by a single subscript. The elements are stored in consecutive memory locations.

In multi-dimensional arrays, the simplest form is the two dimensional array, where each element is represented by two subscripts. Thus a two dimensional m x n array has m rows and n columns and contains m*n elements.

Three dimensional array - each element is represented by three subscripts. Thus a three dimensional m x n x l array contains m*n*l elements.
