+---- Thread: Multidimensional arrays.. (/showthread.php?tid=4867)
Multidimensional arrays.. - F3nix - 02-17-2010
Just spent an hour going through some Java texts, and multidimensional arrays is when my head started to hurt.
Anyone know what these are actually used for? (the code examples are a little confusing to follow)
RE: Multidimensional arrays.. - Project Evolution - 02-22-2010
Multidimensional arrays can be used for things such as x and y coordinates in a game,
Code:
MyArray[x][y]Code:
MySquareArray[x][y]Code:
MyCubeArray[x][y][z]Hopefully you catch my drift.

Hmm instead of declaring 7 different arrays in one script I made, I could have just made 4. Interesting....

Although its a common way, more dimensions to an array actually is slower than using one.
For example,
Code:
MySquareArray[x][y]Code:
MySquareArray[x*y]RE: Multidimensional arrays.. - Ⱳąŗɗ - 03-16-2010

For example,
is slower than,Code:MySquareArray[x][y]
Code:MySquareArray[x*y]
I see. I'll keep that in mind.
