Thread: Multidimensional array uses

Multidimensional arrays can have any number of dimensions to them, from int[][] to int[][][][]. I understand how a multidimensional array with 2, 3 and 4 dimensions can be used practically but what are the practical uses to multidimensional arrays such as, int[][][][][][][][] test; ? Also, is there a limit as to how many dimensions an array could have, or could 1 multidimensional array of, say, 50 dimensions, be so large it crashes the IDE (or even the computer)?

pretty much.. The JVM should prevent the computer from crashing if your program gets memory hungry.

Think of a multidimensional array like a big box with lots of smaller boxes inside it. Each dimension of the array adds another layer of smaller boxes. So, if you have a really huge array with lots of dimensions, it's like having a massive box filled with tiny boxes inside, where each tiny box can hold a piece of information. While you can technically make the array as big as you want, putting too many layers of boxes can make your program slow or even run out of space, like trying to fit too many things into a small room. So, while it's possible to have a gigantic array, it's important to be mindful of how much space it might take up and whether your computer can handle it without crashing.
