Multi-Dimensional Arrays

Multi-dimensional arrays are data structures that organize elements in more than one dimension, such as rows and columns (2D), or rows, columns, and depth (3D). They are used to represent tabular data, matrices, or spatial data in programming. This concept is fundamental in fields like scientific computing, image processing, and game development.

Also known as: Multidimensional Arrays, 2D Arrays, 3D Arrays, N-Dimensional Arrays, Matrices

Why learn Multi-Dimensional Arrays?

Developers should learn multi-dimensional arrays when working with data that has inherent multi-dimensional structure, such as images (2D pixel grids), 3D graphics, or mathematical matrices. They are essential for algorithms in machine learning (e.g., neural network weights), simulations, and any application requiring efficient storage and access of grid-like data.
