How does the "Fourth Dimension" work with arrays?
- by Questionmark
Abstract:
So, as I understand it (although I have a very limited understanding), there are three dimensions that we (usually) work with physically:
The 1st would be represented by a line.
The 2nd would be represented by a square.
The 3rd would be represented by a cube.
Simple enough until we get to the 4th -- It is kinda hard to draw in a 3D space, if you know what I mean... Some people say that it has something to do with time.
The Question:
Now, that is all great with me. My question isn't about this, or I'd be asking it on MathSO or PhysicsSO. My question is: How does the computer handle this with arrays?
I know that you can create 4D, 5D, 6D, etc... arrays in many different programming languages, but I want to know how that works.
