best tutorial on multidimensional dynamic arrays?

Question

I have such a vague understanding of what pointers are anyway, and it would be best to start with the basics, though I will eventually need to work up to the task of creating a multidimensional array

Answer 1

You might want to specify what language you are referring to since arrays are common to virtually every language -- when you mentioned pointers I immediately started to think C or C++, but I don't want to make any assumptions.

Answer 2

Say you want to import RSS feeds from a website and you want to put the titles in an array but you never know the length or count of the titles available at any given time. You could set your array up with a number that you know would never exceed the count but then you would just waste memory for no reason. A dynamic array would allow to to be flexible and expand when you need it.

Answer 3

Pointers and arrays are programming 101. Learn programming. Start with http://www-old.oberon.ethz.ch/WirthPubl/AD.pdf

Answer 5

I'm not sure what languages other than PHP support multi-dim arrays, so what language are you looking to do this in?
