Introduction
Arrays are versatile Data Structure which are used to store collection of elements. Depending on the number of dimensions, arrays can be classified into Three Types of Arrays: – One-Dimensional (1D), Two-Dimensional (2D), Three-Dimensional (3D) Arrays. Each types serves a different purposes and it is useful in the various applications.
Three Types of Arrays
Here is the Explanation about the Types of Arrays,
1 D Arrays
A One-Dimensional Array is a linear structure which stores element in a single row. Each element is accessed using a single index.
Use Case: – 1D Arrays ideal for storing lists of data like scores, names or temprature.
2 D Array
A Two-Dimensional Arrays is like Matrix, storing elements in rows and columns. It requires two indices to access and element: one for the row and one for the column.
Use Case: – 2D Arrays are useful for representing grids, tables, or any data that requires a matrix-like structure, such as pixel data in images.
3 D Array
A Three-Dimensional Array extends the concept to three levels: rows, columns, and depth (layer). It requires three indices to access an element.
Use Case: – 3D Arrays are often used in scientific computing, simulations, and representing volumetric data, like color images (height, width, color channels) or 3D Models.
