Arrays make it possible to organize a lot of data under a single structure. For example, an application that tracks daily sales revenue at a retail store could use the month and day of the month as indexes to the array to store and to retrieve sales data for that particular day.
While it is fairly easy to grasp one- and two-dimensional arrays, once arrays grow to three or more dimensions, it can be significantly more challenging to reach the same level of expertise.
Please respond to all of the following prompts:
- Come up with an idea of an array that would use three or more dimensions (such as year, month, and day). Present this idea to the class with a brief introduction.
- Discuss what information would be stored at different locations in the array.
- What would an application need to do to locate information stored at a particular location?
- How would an application insert data at a particular location?
- If you used a sub procedure to access the array, how would you tell it where to store or find the data in the array?
