What do you mean by the terms “Dimension” and “Subscript” when we talk about arrays?

Answer»
  • In an array "Dimension" is the NUMBER of INDICES, or subscripts, that you need for SPECIFYING an individual element. Dimensions and subscripts may be confusing. 
  • A SUBSCRIPT is a number, while the dimension is a description of the range of acceptable keys.
  • You only need 1 subscript for each dimension of the array.
  • For example, arr[10][5] is an array having 2 dimensions:
    • One with size 10 and the other with size 5. You need 2 subscripts to address its elements. One between 0 and 9, inclusive; the other between 0 and 4.
